9:55Welcome back. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stodds. Today's show is titled The Power of Giving. When we hear the word giving, we usually think about doing something for someone else. Giving time, giving energy, giving support. But what happens when you keep giving and you're running on empty? Giving isn't meant to drain you. The best giving doesn't come from exhaustion. It comes from fullness, from rest, from having something real to give. Today's perspective shift is simple. Giving to others works best when you've learned how to give to yourself first. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stotz.

10:35Sit back, relax, and enjoy. I'll be right back.

29:46Welcome back. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stotts. Today's show is titled The Power of Giving. Some people struggle with the idea of giving to themselves. It feels indulgent, unnecessary, or even selfish. But caring for yourself isn't selfish. It's actually thoughtful. When you give to yourself in healthy ways, you have something better to give to others. Giving to yourself doesn't mean you stop caring about others. It means you care enough to show up in a healthier way for yourself and for others. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stats. sit back, relax, and enjoy.

47:11Welcome back. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stotts. Today's show is titled The Power of Giving. The reality is, you probably won't stop giving, because that's not who you are. You still show up, you still help, you still take care of what needs to be done. But when you're tired, when you haven't taken time for yourself, it takes a little more out of you. Even small things feel big. You're there, but not fully there, because you can only give from what you have. But when you're rested, when you've slowed down, when you've allowed yourself to breathe, something changes. You listen better. You respond with more patience.

47:54You feel calmer inside. When you take care of yourself, what you give and how you give it changes. And everyone feels a difference, including you. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stotz. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. I'll be right back. If you need a little help slowing down and resetting, visit my website and head to the shop page. Give yourself a few minutes of rest. You deserve that.
