Altruism is Trash

Bold Becomers Podcast | Faith-based personal growth for women ready to show up authentically.

Have you ever said “yes” when your whole soul was screaming “no”? In this episode of the Bold Becomers Podcast, Chara Jané gets real about the dark side of altruism. When “being the dependable one” costs your peace, your purpose, and your God-given shine, it’s no longer service — it’s self-betrayal. You’ll hear: ✨ Why unhealthy altruism masquerades as goodness but leaves you drained and resentful ✨ How background behavior keeps you silent, small, and spent ✨ The SHINE Method connection (Honor Your Story + Navigate Your Growth) ✨ Four practical strategies to stop betraying yourself and start serving from overflow ✨ A Challenge of the Week that helps you practice aligned boundaries God did not create you to live depleted and hidden. You were made to shine, and that means learning how to say sacred no’s and purposeful yeses. Scriptures Mentioned: •John 10:10 – Life more abundantly •Proverbs 3:6 – Let God direct your paths Challenge of the Week: Identify one area where you’ve been saying yes out of guilt instead of alignment. Write it down. Replace it with a healthy no or boundary, and notice how much lighter you feel.
