What if service didn’t have to mean sacrifice? In this episode, I’m challenging the outdated belief that to serve others, we have to give until it hurts. Real service doesn’t drain you—it aligns you. When you give from your natural gifts, passions, and joy, you serve in a way that fills *both* you and those you help. We’ll explore how to recognize when you’re serving from obligation versus overflow, and how to redefine “giving” in a way that feels peaceful, purposeful, and sustainable.
