If you’ve ever felt like love is something you owe, perform, or constantly prove, this episode is going to hit home. In Episode 29 of Inner Sanctuary RAW, Erica explores what happens when love becomes emotional labor—and how early conditioning, trauma, and nervous system patterns (like the fawn response) quietly program us to confuse obligation with devotion.

You’ll learn:

Why emotional obligation shows up in high-functioning, over-giving adults

The hidden cost of performing love instead of receiving it

How trauma teaches your body to earn love, not feel safe in it

What a somatic reset can do to rewire your relationship patterns

Plus, Erica guides you through a short nervous system reset to help you return to love that feels chosen—not forced. If your relationships often leave you drained, this is your call to come home to yourself.
