Not What You Imagined

In this podcast episode, Steve and Kenya delve deep into giving and how it relates to being seen or unseen. They pose thought-provoking questions such as: why do we give? Is it for the sake of receiving recognition and approval from others, or is it simply out of the goodness of our hearts? Furthermore, they explore the emotional impact of feeling unseen during the holiday season - a time often characterized by familial togetherness and feelings of warmth and love.

Steve and Kenya also explore how giving can affect our mood during Christmas or any other time of the year. For instance, they discuss the joy and satisfaction that often come with giving selflessly and the negative emotions that may arise from feeling like our efforts are not appreciated or recognized.

This podcast sheds light on the complexities of giving and how it intersects with our need to be seen and valued by others. It encourages us to reflect on our motivations for giving and how to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and contentment independent of external validation.
