“When we are blocking our ability to receive, we’re also blocking connection. We are blocking our ability for people to get close to us. ”— APRIL BOYD
For women, precisely, giving tends to be our default; our wheelhouse. Many of us have no problem giving, whether during holiday time or throughout the year; but when it comes to receiving, it can be a whole other story.
In this week’s episode we discuss with guest expert April Boyd the impact receiving can have, how important it is to be able to receive, even if it is hard, and some tools to switch from an over-giver to an easy receiver. April is a psychotherapist and coach and host of the “Is it Them or Is it Me?” Podcast. She helps women and couples across the globe to show up, speak up, and connect with more courage, confidence & kindness. She believes in boundaries, truth telling, and that you can do everything you want to do, just not all at the same time. When she’s not doing the work she loves, she’s usually lost and searching for coffee and Wi-Fi in some country.
“I think the pendulum have swung too far, where it moved to in order to be a contributor you have to be self sacrificer”— APRIL BOYD
