Stop Abandoning Yourself: How I Started Trusting Me Again

Description:

In this  episode, I talk about the subtle ways I abandoned myself in the name of peace, love, and loyalty. I thought I was being selfless, but I was really just disappearing.

If you’ve ever stayed quiet to avoid conflict, made yourself smaller to be accepted, or felt overlooked in your own story, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.

In this conversation, I share:

  • The hidden signs of self-abandonment
  • Why people-pleasing isn’t love, it’s survival
  • How I began to choose myself even when it was uncomfortable
  • Spiritual reminders that helped me reclaim my voice and worth
  • A message to the past version of me who kept holding it all in

This is your invitation to come back home to yourself.
