The Guilt of Giving When You Have Less: A Gentle Permission Slip | Stories That Matter
Description
In this episode of Stories That Matter, host Kristina Cole addresses the pervasive and painful phenomenon known as 'giving guilt'—the shame that arises when individuals feel they cannot donate enough money to match their compassion. This episode is specifically designed for those who are financially strained, living paycheck to paycheck, or simply overwhelmed by global crises, offering a gentle permission slip to release the burden of transactional philanthropy. It serves as a vital resource for anyone questioning their worth as a donor or community member because their bank account doesn't reflect their desire to help.
