The Nurturer leads with generosity and heart — but often overgives at the expense of her own wellbeing. Explore how this archetype can honor her worth while still supporting others.

Strengths & Gifts:

• Your desire to be of service often inspires you to share your financial resources. Your natural generosity includes wanting to protect, shelter or nurture others financially.

• Your self-worth comes from compassion, giving and ‘being there’ for others. You are responsible with your personal finances but often attract people who need your help, financially and otherwise.

• You are incredibly generous, give amazing value, and are very loyal to those you care about.

Challenges & Shadows:

• What you see as selfless generosity can easily create enabling relationships and problematic boundaries with the people you want to help, plus sow seeds of resentment or martyrdom within you. It's not unusual for your giving to even end up compromising your own financial stability.

• You can be taken advantage of financially by others or secretly feel resentful because what you give is not reciprocated.

• You find asking for what you’re worth requires every ounce of courage you possess and you tend to create emotionally entangled, dependent financial relationships, which unconsciously disable the people you want to help.
