In this episode, we dive into the deep-rooted wounds of abandonment, self-protection, and emotional healing. The conversation explores how childhood experiences shape our expectations of love and safety, leading to patterns of self-abandonment in relationships. Through personal stories of transformation—leaving a marriage, setting boundaries with family, and learning to truly receive support—this episode is a powerful reflection on breaking free from toxic cycles. You’ll hear about the challenges of allowing vulnerability, the importance of feeling anger rather than suppressing it, and the journey of reclaiming your own sense of security. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling emotionally unfulfilled, this episode will help you recognize the power you hold to stop abandoning yourself and start showing up for your own needs.

Top Episode quotes:

"Abandonment has been a wound on my heart forever. It's like a shadow that follows me everywhere, making me feel alone—even when I’m surrounded by people."

"We are not abandoned by other people. We can’t be. We are only abandoned by ourselves when we allow others to cross our boundaries and silence our truth."

"My whole life, I was taught that friends could never replace family, but my friends have been the ones showing up for me in ways I never experienced before."

"Healing isn’t just about sitting with your pain. It’s about actively choosing to walk away from what hurts you and stepping toward what nurtures you."

"I’m done inviting people into my life who behave in ways that aren’t good for me. I’m finally standing up for myself, and it feels so damn good."
