Does your kind and compassionate heart ever leave you feeling like a sucker? Do you feel like you over-give? Are you being manipulated? Are you drawn to people who have high expectations of what you should be doing for them?

Today on the show I’m talking about how you can stop getting manipulated now! First, I want to help you identify someone who may be manipulating you. And then I want you to implement tools to put manipulators in their place. Because no one should be walking all over you or taking advantage of your empathic, kind nature.
