EP294: Where Did You Go? The Moment You Started Leaving Yourself Behind

In this episode, we take a deeper look at the slow, often unnoticed ways we begin to disconnect from ourselves—especially when survival, acceptance, or love seemed to depend on it. Whether it started in childhood or in a past relationship, the moment you began second-guessing your gut or hiding your truth was likely a moment of self-protection. But over time, those small choices can add up to a life that doesn’t quite feel like your own.

We’ll explore how shame, emotional detachment, and a need for approval can pull us away from our true voice—and what it means to gently start coming home to yourself. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own turning points, not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion. Because the goal isn’t to blame yourself for how you’ve coped—it’s to recognize that you now have the power to choose something different.

 

Three Takeaways:

1.   There are moments in your story that quietly shaped how you relate to yourself - and they’re worth revisiting with fresh eyes.

2.   What feels like a personality trait might actually be a survival pattern you no longer need.

3.   Reconnection doesn’t happen in a single breakthrough - it’s a series of tiny, loyal choices to stop leaving yourself behind.
