Journey to Radiance

The End of Self-Abandonment: Choosing Vulnerability Over Armor


Listen Later

Burnout isn’t always about doing too much.

Sometimes it’s what happens when you keep showing up… while abandoning who you are in the process.

In Episode 2 of Journey to Radiance, we go straight into radical vulnerability and real trust — not “trust with a lowercase t,” but the kind of Big-T Trust that lets you stay open even when it feels risky. We unpack what self-abandonment actually looks like in real life: swallowing the truth to keep the peace, wearing a persona to feel safe, people-pleasing your way into exhaustion, and taking responsibility for other people’s reactions.

This episode is for the person rebuilding trust with herself after a mistake, a hard season, or a moment where you stopped listening to your own inner knowing.

You’ll hear:
~Why discomfort can be a compass toward authenticity
~How to stop over-carrying other people’s fragility
~A powerful reframe: “You don’t have the problems you think you have — you have the identity of someone who has those problems.”
~Practical tools for self-trust (boundary check-ins, small promises, integrity audits)
~A simple, disarming communication move

You’ll walk away clearer on where you’re armoring up… and how to soften without losing yourself.
The goal isn’t to be fearless.

It’s to be true — and stay open anyway.
