About this listen
Is kindness always a strength—or can it secretly hold you back?
In this deep dive, Elle Russ explore the neuroscience and psychology behind kindness, from its evolutionary roots to its modern-day pitfalls.
Discover when kindness becomes a hidden weakness (people-pleasing, fawning, manipulative generosity) and when it’s a genuine superpower (helper’s high, reciprocal altruism).
Learn how to audit your kindness—are you giving from a place of authenticity or obligation?—and how to set boundaries so your generosity fuels you, not drains you.
Whether you’re an overworked caregiver, a chronic "yes" person, or just someone who wants to give without resentment, this episode will help you reclaim the power of true kindness.
