The 7-Year Breakup That Changed Everything | Why Choosing Myself Was the Deepest Love Story of All


Listen Later

It hit me like a lightning bolt:
"That’s it. I’m done. I have nothing left to give."

That moment marked the end of chasing, shape-shifting, and settling. What I thought would be a short break from dating spiraled into a seven-year relationship hiatus—not out of bitterness, but out of something far more sacred: a call to come home to myself.

In this deeply vulnerable episode of The Femme Cast, I share the truth behind my unexpected journey into singlehood. No, I didn’t plan to be single for seven years—but what started as a timeout turned into the most profound spiritual initiation and self-reclamation I’ve ever experienced.

If you’ve ever found yourself overgiving, constantly seeking approval, or shrinking your truth to avoid abandonment, this episode is your mirror. Your invitation. Your medicine.

We explore:

  • The exact moment I reached emotional rock bottom—and chose me
  • Why I stopped trying to “be chosen” and started choosing myself
  • How I reclaimed my energy, voice, and purpose by opting out of relationships
  • The surprising gifts that emerged when I stopped performing for love
  • How this sacred pause helped me reconnect with my power, passion, and worth
  • Why intentional singlehood is the healing portal every over-giver needs
  • The slow, messy, beautiful journey back into dating as a fully expressed woman
  • And how becoming unavailable for crumbs made me a magnet for emotionally available love

This is not just my story—it’s a blueprint for every woman who’s ever lost herself in love. And it’s not about swearing off connection. It’s about never abandoning yourself again in the name of it.

And when you learn to source your safety, validation, and joy from within, you stop settling. And you attract the kind of love that meets you there.

If you’ve ever said “I have nothing left to give,” this episode is for you.

Because your self-worth isn’t up for negotiation—and neither is your peace.

Let's do this.

Ready to stop abandoning yourself for love? To finally rise from the wreckage of betrayal and become the woman you were born to be?
