Doses of Her

The High Cost of Self-Abandonment- Why You Keep Negotiating Your Needs (And How to Stop)


Listen Later

You’ve spent years bending, shrinking, and silencing your truth just to feel loved. But at what cost?

In this raw and intimate episode of Doses of Her, I’m opening up about the ways we abandon ourselves in relationships and how I stopped. After my recent breakup, I realized how deeply I was negotiating my needs, my peace, and my worth. This episode is your invitation to stop doing the same.

If you've ever called yourself the "easygoing one," the peacemaker, the ride-or-die then this is for you. We’re redefining what it means to be soft and sacred, kind and clear, loving and rooted in your power.

✨ In this episode, we dive into:

  • The hidden cost of self-abandonment
  • How to identify your non-negotiables
  • The problem with being “low-maintenance” in love
  • Why softness is not the same as self-sacrifice

Your voice is valid. Your desires are divine. And you, my love, are no longer up for negotiation.

💌 Journal prompt:
What am I no longer willing to negotiate?
