Harder Than Life

148: How to Break the Pattern of Self-Abandonment


Listen Later

You’re not choosing love… you’re abandoning yourself.


In this raw and vulnerable episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel lays it all on the table—from personal heartbreak to powerful healing. This isn't just about relationships, it's about the silent, self-sacrificing patterns we fall into chasing love, approval, or peace... while betraying ourselves in the process.


If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or stuck choosing between your truth and someone else’s comfort, this one’s for you.


Inside this episode:

✅ The childhood belief that love must be earned and how it sabotages your self-worth

✅ 5 powerful actions to stop self-abandonment and build radical self-respect

✅ Why protecting your peace is not selfish. It’s sacred

✅ How to reverse engineer your relationships and cut out hidden chaos

✅ A 7-day challenge to reconnect with yourself and never shrink again


💥 Choosing peace might mean losing people. But if your peace costs you your identity, that’s too high a price.


🎯 CHALLENGE: What’s one boundary you’re setting this week to honor your peace? Drop a comment or DM @kelly.siegel71
