Have you ever thought to yourself, “I’m so kind. I do everything for everyone. Why does it still feel like no one sees me?”If so, this episode is for you.Because here’s the truth: sometimes what we call kindness… isn’t kindness at all. It’s compliance. It’s a nervous system pattern rooted in people-pleasing, overgiving, and confusing self-erasure with safety.In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening when “being kind” starts to drain you instead of fulfilling you—and how your body keeps the score when you keep betraying your own needs in the name of love, spirituality, or doing “the right thing.”🎧In this episode, you’ll learn:The difference between true kindness and complianceHow people-pleasing disguises itself as being “helpful” or “spiritual”Why chronic over-giving leads to emotional burnout and physical symptomsHow your body registers self-betrayal as a constant stress signalThe connection between over-giving and magnesium depletion, thyroid suppression, and fatigueWhy saying no is one of the most healing things you can do for your body and your relationshipsHow to start noticing when your body says no even while your mouth says yes⏱️Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to The Real Remedy00:47 When Kindness Stops Working02:12 The Emotional Labor of Kindness03:25 The Impact on Your Health04:09 Understanding Compliance vs. Kindness05:30 Root Causes and People Pleasing08:00 The Physical and Emotional Toll17:42 Steps to Break the Cycle20:40 Reflection and Moving Forward24:18 Conclusion and Resources🔗Connect with Elizabeth:Website: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabetho.neillExplore The Real Remedy: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/masterclassWork with Elizabeth: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/links🔗From This Episode:The Body Belief Map: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/body-belief-map💌 Want more like this?Subscribe to The Real Remedy Podcast and leave a review if this resonated with you.
