Discover why people pleasing and overgiving leave you drained and how to set healthy boundaries.

Do you often feel emotionally exhausted after helping others, managing relationships, or constantly being “the strong one”? In this episode, we explore why overgiving, people-pleasing and emotional suppression can quietly drain your energy and disconnect you from yourself. Discover how Taoist wisdom teaches healthy emotional boundaries, balance without aggression, and a calmer way to care for others without abandoning yourself.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
