How much of your life has been spent taking care of everyone... except yourself?
Many of us learned from a young age that being "good" meant being helpful, quiet, dependable, and always putting other people first.
Over time, that can become a pattern of overgiving, burnout, and losing sight of who we truly are.
In this week's episode of Show Up With How much of your life has been spent taking care of everyoneโฆ except yourself?
Many of us were taught that being โgoodโ meant being helpful, selfless, dependable and always putting others first.
But over time, that โgoodnessโ can quietly turn into overgiving, exhaustion, and losing touch with who we really are.
In this weekโs episode of Show Up With Priyanka, I sit down with Mazarine Treyz, leadership trainer, author of Healing from the Nonprofit Sector, and educator who has trained over 22,000 leaders across the world.
Her book ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐ป๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ถ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt exhausted by service, stuck in cycles of overgiving, or unsure how to keep helping others without losing themselves in the process. It shines a light on the hidden emotional cost of purpose-driven work and offers a path back to wholeness, boundaries, and sustainable impact.
We go deep into what it really means to heal from patterns that are often praised in service-driven spaces like nonprofits, caregiving roles, leadership, and even entrepreneurship.
Because what looks like โdedicationโ on the outside is often self-abandonment on the inside.
Together we explore:
๐ Why overgiving often begins in childhood conditioning
๐ The hidden emotional cost of people-pleasing
๐ What Mazarineโs book Healing from the Nonprofit Sector reveals about burnout in mission-driven work
๐ How grief reshapes who we are and why slowing down is part of healing
๐ How to set boundaries without guilt and reclaim your voice
This conversation is especially powerful for anyone who has worked in nonprofits, caregiving, education, or purpose-driven leadership where giving everything is often normalizedโฆ even when it costs you your wellbeing.
But itโs also for anyone who has ever thought:
โIโm tired of being strong for everyone else.โ

And if this speaks to your heart, please share it with someone who needs this reminder today.
Because healing doesnโt begin when you give more.
It begins when you finally give yourself permission to receive.
