As we step into Thanksgiving week, many women find themselves carrying invisible emotional weight, saying yes when they want to say no, suppressing their needs to keep the peace, and shrinking themselves to meet expectations.
In this heartfelt episode, Coach Carla guides you through the deeply rooted pattern of self-betrayal and how it often resurfaces during the holiday season.
Whether it's family dynamics, old roles, guilt, or the pressure to show up in ways that no longer reflect your truth, this episode meets you right where you are.
Together, we explore how self-betrayal forms, why it feels familiar, and what it looks like to choose yourself gently, honestly, and without guilt.
Inside this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why the holidays can trigger old wounds, emotional responsibilities, and patterns of self-abandonment.
- How self-betrayal becomes a learned survival response, and how to break that cycle.
- Practical, compassionate ways to honor your voice, boundaries, and emotional well-being.
- Healing reflections to help you navigate Thanksgiving with clarity and peace.
- A powerful reminder that choosing yourself is not selfish, it’s sacred.
This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your truth, protect your peace, and create new patterns rooted in self-honoring instead of self-sacrifice.
If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, people-pleasing, or the pressure to perform during the holidays, this episode will speak to your soul.
