Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

Ep: 176 Coaching Session: From Self-Abandonment to Self-Acceptance


Listen Later

In this Cheaper than Therapy coaching session, we sat down with Claire as she unravels the intricacies that come along with the end of a marriage. Claire's internal struggle echoes the question that many women are confronted with: what does it mean, as a woman, to end a relationship and find our true sense of Self within our patriarchy-based societal norms and expectations?


🌟 Big Takeaways from this Episode:

  • Tangled Societal Norms: We delve into societal expectations of women, and the paradox we face between individual desires and collective demands centered in codependency. Do we really need to exist in a tolerable level of permanent unhappiness, specifically in relationships?
  • Unveiling a Sense of Self:A relationship’s end brings an opportunity to trust yourself as you lean in to the reintroduction to your true sense of self, while simultaneously owning that our codependency invites self-abandonment. Acknowledging personal wants is not selfish, and we are worthy as is.
  • Sacred Solitude: Finding acceptance that we may walk through life’s fires without support or guidance, and how that trust in yourself can lead to spiritual epiphanies.

  • Our candid conversation with Claire aims to inspire and assure that even amidst the chaos of unraveling relationships, finding one's true self is the ultimate gift.
