In this eye-opening episode of Heal with Kimile, Kimile Pendleton dives into the unsettling reality of relationships where you’re not valued—just used. Whether it’s someone draining your emotional energy, exploiting your skills, or leaning on you for material gain, these connections leave you feeling exhausted and unappreciated. Kimile reveals the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that someone is taking advantage of your kindness, and why talented, capable people often become targets for users.
More importantly, she shares how to set unshakable boundaries—without guilt—and reclaim your energy from those who see you as a resource rather than a person. This isn’t about becoming cynical; it’s about learning to guard your light so you can share it with those who truly deserve it. If you’ve ever felt like a giver surrounded by takers, this episode will help you shift the balance—starting today.
Your energy is precious. Tune in to learn how to stop leaking it to people who don’t deserve you.
