The Cringe-Worthy Moment That Changed Everything | My Breaking Point, Begging for Love, and Finally Choosing Me


Listen Later

We all have that one moment we’ve buried deep.
The one that creeps back in at 2 a.m., leaving a pit in your stomach.
The moment you swore you’d never tell a soul.

This is mine.

In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Femme Cast, I take you back to the moment I found myself on the floor, crying and begging a man to love me—a man I knew, deep down, was cheating and gaslighting me while swearing he loved me. It was humiliating. Cringe-worthy. And yet... It was the beginning of my awakening.

From the outside, it looked like love.

But inside, I was drowning in confusion, emotional neglect, self-abandonment, and the desperate hope that if I could just be “enough,” he would finally choose me.

This wasn’t just about him—it was about a lifetime of chasing emotionally unavailable men.

It was about a father I adored but who didn’t know how to be emotionally present.
It was about the story I had unconsciously lived for decades. 

The story that love must be earned, begged for, and proven worthy of.

Inside this episode, we unpack:

  • The runner-chaser dynamic and why it feels so addictive
  • How early emotional wounds prime us to mistake pain for passion
  • The distorted definition of love I had to unlearn
  • Why your “rock bottom” moment might just be your soul trying to wake you up
  • The truth about men who say all the right things but never show up
  • And the single, most pivotal realization that began my healing journey

This isn’t a fairytale love story.

It’s the story of a woman who got tired of begging to be chosen—and started choosing herself.

If you've ever felt like you had to perform, prove, or plead for someone’s love…
If you're stuck in a cycle of chasing emotionally unavailable people…
If you're ready to reclaim the version of you that knows love shouldn't hurt…

Then this conversation is your mirror, your permission, and maybe even your turning point.
