Are you caught in the “caring trap,” giving so much to others that you neglect your own needs and end up feeling depleted? In this deeply personal episode of Authentic Leaders Rising, host Tammy Cho unpacks the hidden patterns that often keep high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders from stepping into truly empowered leadership. Drawing from her own experience of being triggered after speaking her truth to an authority figure, Tammy reveals how easy it is—even for those who are used to advocating for others—to unintentionally give away our power and fall into people-pleasing, overachievement, or self-sacrifice.Throughout the episode, Tammy shines a light on the subtle energetic imbalances many leaders experience when their caring for others comes at the expense of themselves. She introduces her “empowered caring model,” a practical approach for realigning your energy and intentions so that you can give from a place of fullness rather than depletion. Using powerful reflection exercises and relatable examples, Tammy guides listeners to examine where they may be unconsciously handing over their power and invites them to cultivate the courage to speak up for their true needs again and again—even when it feels uncomfortable or “too much.”Three main takeaways from this episode:1) Recognize the Caring Trap: Learn to spot when your caring and desire to help others lead to overgiving, people-pleasing, or self-neglect, causing energetic imbalances that undermine your impact.2) Step into Empowered Caring: Discover the four-step process for shifting from self-sacrifice to empowered, authentic leadership—beginning with clarifying your own wants and needs before giving to others.3) Hold Your Ground: Understand the importance of holding your boundaries and advocating for yourself with boldness, even in the face of discomfort or perceived authority.If you’re ready to lead from a place of wholeness, boost your impact, and finally break free from the old patterns that keep you stuck, this episode will give you the insight and actionable steps to start your journey.
