About this Event
WESOS Orland Park network meeting hosted by WESOS Chapter Leaders, Lena Matariyeh & Crystal Baldazo.
Topic: Is it better to give than to receive?
Guests - Your first meeting is on us! If you are not a paid member of WESOS and this is your first time ever going to a WESOS meeting, select the non-member ticket and use promo code FIRSTTIMEFREE to get your first ticket free.
Join us on Wednesday April 1, at 9:30 AM, to network and hear from our featured member speaker, Jaina Jordan.
This talk reframes the question “Is it better to give or receive?” as a both/and: healthy giving requires healthy receiving, because relationships need reciprocity. Many of us over-give from approval, control, or fear of being a burden, and then struggle to receive without guilt—yet receiving is how connection completes the circuit. When we refuse to receive, we don’t just stay “independent”; we can also block the giver’s blessing—their joy, meaning, and sense of contribution—because giving is the throw and receiving is the catch
Key Takeaways:
- Receiving Isn’t Selfish
- Over-giving Isn’t Always Generosity
- Refusing To Receive Can Block The Giver’s Blessing
