The Sacred Art of Receiving: Why True Generosity Flows Both Ways
About This Episode
In this Sunny Side Up episode, Jessie May explores the tender rhythm of reciprocity: the relational balance between offering and allowing, nurturing and being nurtured.
It’s a soft landing place for the givers, the caretakers, the ones who’ve poured endlessly into others and are finally ready to feel filled again. What if receiving was just as generous and just as sacred as giving?
Through neuroscientific insight, emotional clarity, and heart-led reflection, this episode invites you to receive without guilt, and remember that love flows best when it moves both ways.
