Do you feel you give too much in your relationships? Probably. In this episode, I break down why doing more doesn’t lead to deeper love. It leads to exhaustion. You’ll learn why overgiving is common for smart, successful women and how it keeps you stuck with men who take without giving back. If you’re tired of feeling unappreciated, this is your wake-up call. The problem isn’t that you give too much; the problem is that you’ve been giving to the wrong men.
