Stop Giving So Much: Think About Yourself Like a Feather in the Wind

Summary: Are you always giving 110%, but you still feel like you need to prove your worth? You’re stronger than you think, and your persistence is your power. Read on.

Dear Dr. Sylvia,

It’s exhausting, constantly feeling like I have to do more, be more, just to be seen.

I don’t need to be a TikTok heroine. Not to write a best seller.

Why do so many women feel like they give and give and get very little in return?

I want to be respected and acknowledged for the work I do, both at my job and in my family.

Any encouragement is appreciated.

Signed,

Need Encouragement

Women Leaders Can Speak Out Without Being On The Offence

Dear Need Encouragement,

Most people share your feelings.

Good for you to express them.

In fact, most people shy away from recognizing their talent and creativity, hiding in the shadows.

But here’s the truth: you’re carrying so much more than anyone sees. Like a feather that seems light but can hold the wind, your quiet strength sustains everything around you.

This kind of emotional strength is often overlooked. When leaders dare to care, something powerful shifts.

Careful, You Don’t Need to Prove Your Worth All The Time

It’s already there in the way you show up, day after day, even when it’s hard. Every time you push through a challenge, every time you lift others up, you’re showing your true power.

It’s not about how loud you are or how perfect everything looks.

It’s about your resilience, your persistence, and your ability to keep moving forward, no matter what.

Think of it this way, you’re not small. Your quiet power is what makes the difference.

Mindfulness and self compassion can support your next step, especially when your strength has been quiet for too long.
