Ever give so much you had nothing left for yourself? Dawn's got a two-word fix she still repeats to herself: don't be a doormat.

In Daily Dose 24, Dawn breaks down the difference between being a lighthouse (shining an example for others to save themselves) and a life preserver (wading into someone else's storm and risking going under with them). For helpers, people-pleasers, and caregivers who've been stuck in the second role too long.

If this helped, follow the show so the next Dose finds you automatically.
