Are You Always The Giver? A Coach Explains Why | Ladies Chat | Midday Connexion | Gagasi FM

Are you the person everyone turns to for help? The one who organizes, nurtures, and solves problems, but when you're in need, no one seems to be there for you? You are not alone. In this moving "iLadies Chat," hosts DJ Sonic and Khaya Mthethwa talk with spiritual and relationship coach Zamalinda MaCebekhulu Xulu about why some women, especially firstborn daughters, fall into a pattern of "overgiving." Zamalinda shares her own deeply personal story of becoming the caretaker of her family at just nine years old. This conversation covers: How family and society condition women to be constant caregivers. The good side (learning responsibility) and the bad side (neglecting your own needs). Why these women often attract "takers" in their relationships. The difference between overgiving and people-pleasing. Practical steps to start setting boundaries without feeling guilty. How parents can avoid placing this burden on their own children. This is a talk for every woman who has ever felt like she's pouring from an empty cup.
