It contextualised so much of what she sees as the struggle so many women in her community have.It's called "Human Giver Syndrome" and it's rife amongst women and mothers.It's also largely invisible to us because we've been conditioned to believe it's 'the norm'.This episode explores exactly what Human Giver Syndrome is and why women feel so much resistance to giving to themselves.Lisa delves into the very real consequences of this and how you can start to shift out of it. With ease.
