Episode 45 – Level Four Energy: The Heart of Service
There’s a fine line between caring and controlling, and sometimes the reason we give so much isn’t just because we care. It’s because we want to feel seen, valued, or validated in return.
In this week’s episode of the I Am Self-ish™ Podcast, I explore Level Four Energy—the heart of service. It’s the space where we finally feel like we’re making a difference, but it’s also where our empathy can quietly turn into exhaustion if we’re not careful.
We talk about how boundaries don’t push people away—they protect the love behind your empathy. Because compassion without limits leads to burnout, and love without boundaries eventually breaks the person who’s always giving it.
This episode is a reminder that self-care isn’t selfish. It’s how we sustain our ability to love, serve, and connect without losing ourselves in the process.
