The Cost of Loyalty: When Showing Up Isn’t Enough
What happens when you give your time, your loyalty, your love — and it still isn’t enough?
In this raw, unfiltered episode, Devin shares a personal story about feeling overlooked and undervalued as a loyal customer, and how that experience mirrors deeper patterns in life. From a disappointing encounter at a movie theater to heartbreaking emails from listeners navigating betrayal, loss, and emotional exhaustion, this episode explores the high price of showing up for people, places, and systems that don't show up for you.
Featuring deeply honest listener stories — including a mother grieving her living son, a friend wrestling with toxic loyalty, and a listener’s powerful reminder that “not everyone deserves access to you” — this conversation is for anyone who’s ever given too much and gotten too little in return.
In this episode:
Devin’s Cinemark rant: a surprising lesson on corporate loyalty
A grieving mother’s strength and silence
The power (and pain) of truth-telling in relationships
Why boundaries aren’t selfish — they’re survival
A reminder: you’re allowed to stop showing up for people who drain you
