Lighthouse Within
Welcome to the Lighthouse Within Podcast. I’m Raina Rose, a coach and psychology nerd passionate about creating a space where you can come as you are and find connection through reflection. Through solo episodes and meaningful shared conversations, we’ll dive into the beauty of self-exploration, the power of authentic connection, and the courage it takes to show up, expand, and embrace our truest selves. Most of all, we’ll remind each other that we’re never alone in this beautiful, messy human experience and there is always an opportunity to come home to ourselves. Each episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and deepen the connection we have to our unique inner light. So let’s get cozy - and shine together.

#15 The Dance of Giving and Receiving
Some of us can give so much that we lose ourselves, while others struggle to receive without guilt. Most likely, we will struggle with both at different points in our lives. Finding balance between giving and receiving isn’t easy, but it's not just about relationships—it’s about how we sustain our energy, allow support, and show up in life without pouring from an empty cup.
In this episode, I’m diving into what healthy giving and receiving look like, how masculine and feminine energy play a role, and why so many of us can resist receiving. I’ll share simple ways to expand your capacity for both, so you can give from overflow, not depletion, and learn to receive with more ease.
If you’ve ever felt drained from over-giving or uncomfortable asking for help, this one’s for you. Let’s explore how small shifts lead to big differences and help us find the balance we deserve.
