Valentine’s week often brings pressure, comparison, and questions about worth, especially if you’ve learned to equate love with effort or self-sacrifice.

In this episode, we explore:

• How self-abandonment shows up in love and relationships

• Why love learned through survival feels intense but exhausting

• What love feels like in a regulated body

• Why safety matters more than chemistry

• How to move through Valentine’s week with more softness and self-trust

This is a grounding, honest conversation about redefining love, starting with yourself.
