The Emotional Cost of Pretending You’re Okay — Why It’s the Worst Form of Self-Abandonment And Blocking Your Healing & Love


Listen Later

I spent years smiling through heartbreak, betrayal, and depression—convincing everyone (and eventually myself) that I was fine. Behind the façade of the “perfect couple” was a reality I refused to face: infidelity, emotional abandonment, and a deep well of unprocessed pain that I kept buried under toxic positivity and denial.

I didn’t know it then, but this was the most devastating form of self-abandonment. And it came at a cost I could never have imagined.

The rage, grief, and heartbreak I refused to feel didn’t just disappear—they festered. They showed up as digestive issues, chronic pain, insomnia, mood swings, skin rashes, and explosive emotional outbursts over the smallest triggers. Worse, they trapped me in an energetic loop that kept attracting the same toxic dynamics I was desperate to escape.

Here’s the truth no one tells you.

You can repeat affirmations until your voice is hoarse, plaster vision boards across your walls, and meditate for hours—but if you are suppressing the emotions living in your body, those emotions are still creating your reality.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of The Femme Cast, I’m pulling back the curtain on:

🎤 Why pretending to be “okay” is the ultimate betrayal of self
🎤 How suppressed emotions hijack your manifestation and your relationships
🎤 The sneaky ways emotional denial shows up as physical illness and chronic pain
🎤 Why the Universe will always send you “emotional homework” before delivering your desires
🎤 How to process emotions in a way that’s safe, sacred, and shockingly fast

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners, why the same painful patterns keep replaying in your life, or why your manifestations keep stalling—this episode holds the key.

Because your emotions aren’t inconvenient roadblocks. They are intelligent messengers, designed to guide you into the highest version of yourself. 

If you’re willing to feel them.
