Episode 187 The Power of Receiving
Update: 2025-07-04
Description
In this episode, I explore why receiving is so difficult for many people—especially natural supporters and independent individuals. Receiving is not weakness, but a powerful act of vulnerability, connection, and emotional strength.
Key themes include:
- The emotional blocks to receiving: shame, control, and conditioning
- The societal praise of independence and its unintended consequences
- How receiving connects us, deepens relationships, and allows others to feel fulfilled
- Practical ways to begin practicing the art of receiving, starting small
- Insightful parenting advice on giving children "just-right" challenges to build resilience
- A special message to women about letting go of the need to “do it all”
Call to Action:Start small—say yes to a compliment, help, or invitation. Please share this episode with someone who finds it hard to receive. Connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.
