Podcasts about self abandonment

What if setting boundaries isn't about pushing people away — but about finally choosing yourself? In this powerful and deeply relatable conversation, Harvard-trained clinical psychologist Dr. Sabrina Romanoff joins Surviving Roots host Cari Fund to unpack the hidden patterns that shape our relationships — from friendship breakups and people-pleasing to the repetition of childhood wounds in our adult lives. Together they explore: Why boundaries are acts of preservation, not rejection. How self-abandonment begins in childhood — and how to stop repeating it. The psychology behind friendship breakups and envy. What “getting comfortable in the uncomfortable” really looks like. How to know if someone is a battery or a generator in your life. Why guilt can actually be a sign of healing. Whether you're untangling toxic dynamics or learning to stand in your worth, this episode will help you reconnect with the version of yourself you've been betraying just to keep the peace. ✨ Connect with Dr. Sabrina Romanoff: @drsabrinaromanoff

In this episode, we sit down with Susan V, Eva's dear friend and facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, to discuss how to stay connected to yourself — in conflict, in love, and when you're single.They unpack how shame turns into perfectionism, how to take responsibility without collapsing into guilt, and making peace with being single. Susan shares how she released the idea that love would “save” her, and how that shift made space for her to stay connected to herself when she found herself in a loving relationship.  This episode is for anyone who's ever over-apologized, abandoned themselves for love, or struggled to stay true to themselves when things get messy.We discuss:  Being whole in relationship — How to be yourself while staying connected to others.Accountability vs. shame — Taking responsibility for your impact without turning it into self-blame.Perfectionism trap — How trying to “get it right” keeps you from experiencing fulfillment and safetySinglehood & self-worth — Letting go of the idea that being single means you're unlovable  Real love — Why healthy relationships come from wholeness, not from finally being “healed enough.”About Susan:Susan Vielguth is a Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, whose work is rooted in the liberation that comes from questioning our painful beliefs.

In this episode, I open up about what I'll do differently the second time around in motherhood — not because I regret how I raised my daughter, but because I lost myself in the process and was deeply driven by my own internal wounds. I was the poster mum for gentle, conscious, attachment-based parenting. No screens, no bottles, no breaks, no boundaries. I gave everything… and I mean everything. And while my daughter thrived, I unravelled.This is an honest reflection on how my own abandonment wound shaped my parenting — and how “doing it all right” left me feeling hollow, exhausted, and alone.I share the changes I'll be making for when my next little one comes along — from planning postpartum support, setting emotional boundaries, and actually allowing myself to be human, to questioning the parts of conscious parenting that felt more like self-erasure than self-trust.This one's for the mums who have ever felt like they disappeared under the weight of doing it perfectly.You're allowed to change. You're allowed to choose yourself.Let's talk about it.https://www.caitlinpotts.com.auhttps://www.instagram.com/caitypotts

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days   I need to tell you something, and it may sting a little. You know that woman who's always the helper? She's the first to say yes, the one solving everyone's drama, answering texts like it's her full-time job. She's incredible—but here's the hard truth: she's vanishing. Slowly, yes, by yes, she's losing herself. She's so busy showing up for everyone else that she's forgotten how to show up for herself. And if you're thinking, “Oh goodness… that's me,” then we need to talk. Because what you've been calling kindness might actually be quiet self-betrayal. What appears to be selflessness is often just dysfunction in disguise. And today, I'm handing you the roadmap to stop people-pleasing, reclaim your voice, and start honoring your own God-given needs—without guilt, without apology. You were never meant to be everyone's fixer. You were meant to live free, bold, and beautifully aligned with who God created you to be. Let's get you back to that.

Not to break your entire self-image or whatever, but abandoning all your needs and desires for the sake of your partner actually doesn't make you a good person. Sorry not sorry. Sure, maybe it feels good to oh-so-f*cking-selflessly lay your needs down to fulfill your partner's instead. To be the “good girl.” The “cool girl.” To play the hero in his story. Right up until resentment starts burning so badly you think you've got a f*cking ulcer. Truthfully, self-abandonment is a relationship-killer. But it can be a subtle one, especially when you don't know what the fuck self-abandonment even LOOKS like. That's why I'm walking you through all the ways self-abandonment slinks out of the shadows and sets you on the path to complete relationship meltdown—and how to finally shine a light on it so you can clock it, own it, and clean it up. Martyrhood isn't a good look on you, babe. It's time you tried something new.   WORK WITH MICHELLE:  These aren't just retreats. These are where we turn your inner chaos into GOLD.

Have you ever tried to build a life while constantly criticizing yourself and wondering why nothing feels stable? Maybe you push yourself under the bus, act like your own worst critic, or apologize for your needs. When you reject yourself, every boundary crumbles and every goal feels impossible because you're building on quicksand.   In this episode, we dive into why self-acceptance is the real antidote to self-abandonment. We talk about how patterns of people-pleasing, over-functioning, and constant apologizing were survival strategies that made sense at the time, and how they can now keep you stuck. Learn a five-step process to start practicing self-acceptance that will help you make decisions from a place of self-trust, deepen your relationships, and show up fully as yourself.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/81   Ready to make this fall different?

I've come to believe that play and creativity can completely change the way we move through our days. For me, it started when I decided to bring Halloween back into my life and create a whimsical “crow lady” character, and that one spark of joy gave me more energy, focus, and flow than I'd felt in years.    In this episode, I share how that experience opened my eyes to the bigger question of why joy matters so much in medicine and in life, and why so many of us, especially women in medicine and working moms, tend to abandon it. What would happen if you treated joy as a vital sign, right alongside sleep or nutrition? How might your days look if your calendar held space for wonder and curiosity, not just obligations? I'll walk you through simple flow enhancers like gratitude, novelty, and embodiment, as well as the disruptors that scatter our attention. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to see play as a prescription for resilience and growth, and maybe even helps you reclaim your own sparks of joy.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Halloween Confession 03:34 Becoming the Crow Lady and Finding Flow 05:09 Glee and Creativity Boost Productivity 07:42 Self-Abandonment and the Need for Play 10:37 Play and Creativity as the Sixth Vital Sign 13:08 Flow Enhancers vs. Flow Disruptors 16:40 Practical Tools to Protect Your Flow 18:05 Catalyst Question on Gamifying Your Day   Links Catalyst Archetype Catalyst Advantage   Connect with Lara:  Website The Catalyst Way YouTube Instagram  Facebook LinkedIn TikTok     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Today we’re unpacking a pattern so many strong women carry: the trauma of over-responsibility. Why do we take on all the blame? Why does it feel safer to carry the emotional load alone than risk someone being upset with us? From peacekeeping to people-pleasing, we dive into the hidden wounds behind this dynamic—and the ways it silently builds resentment, robs us of connection, and stunts the growth of everyone involved. This is a raw, honest convo on what it means to stop performing emotional labor for two, and start honoring your voice, needs, and truth. If you’ve ever been scared to express how you really feel because it’s easier to just say, *“it’s my fault”… this one’s for you.

Many of us confuse self-care routines with self-love, but real healing happens when we learn to stay present with ourselves, especially in those quiet moments when walking away feels easier.

You'll be guided through a gentle inner child dialogue, a reparenting practice that helps build genuine self-love from the inside out. This isn't about doing it perfectly. It's about meeting yourself with compassion, presence, and the kind of love that makes you feel safe and whole.   Watch Valina Live Here!

We are so back.

Time to reclaim your power, speak up - and what you fucking want out of your life. Call in and create the experiences, relationships and lifestyle that truly tickles your fancy. Starting today.

What if the guilt and shame you carry as a mother or caretaker weren't yours to begin with?In this episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Vanessa Bennett, LMFT, licensed depth therapist, and author of the new book, The Motherhood MythFrom growing up as a “parentified child” to raising her daughter with intention, Vanessa shares how generational wounds, from the “witch wound” to the “mother wound”, shape our lives in ways we may not realize. Together, they explore self-abandonment, the myth of perfection, codependency in relationships, and how to reclaim your identity through micro moments of self-choosing. Whether you're a mother, daughter, partner, or friend, this conversation offers tangible ways to break cycles, set boundaries, and follow the breadcrumbs back to yourself.How Do We Heal Generational Wounds Without Losing Ourselves?Vanessa reveals how recognizing inherited patterns and our part in them is the first step to breaking free.(00:00:22) Depth Psychology and the Path to IndividuationVanessa explains depth psychology as the “psychology of the soul,” focusing on the whole being and the unconscious.Her upbringing as a parentified child and how it shaped her initial decision not to have children.The importance of holding your upbringing objectively to heal. “They're not all bad. And also, they're not all good.”(00:06:11) The Trinity Wound: Witch, Sister, and MotherThe witch wound: epigenetic trauma silencing women's power, sexuality, and individuality.The sister wound: competition among women fueled by scarcity thinking.The mother wound: how women unconsciously uphold patriarchy and pass down harmful narratives.Why ending these cycles starts with self-awareness and modeling change for the next generation.(00:12:30) Self-Abandonment, Guilt, and Rebuilding Your Sense of SelfGuilt and shame are by design. They are tools of societal control, not signs you're broken.Accept guilt as part of the process, then act anyway.Use “micro moments” (like saying no when you mean it) as bricks in the foundation of self-trust.Following breadcrumbs: orienting toward what makes you feel alive, even if it's small or scary.(00:22:09) Codependency, Resentment, and Healthy BoundariesWe live in a codependent culture that teaches us to outsource our emotional regulation.Resentment as a diagnostic tool: a signal that a boundary is being crossed or unspoken.Attachment styles are fluid and change depending on the relationship dynamic.The link between resentment and projection and how awareness can stop the cycle.Why attraction often fades when relationships take on a parental dynamic, and how both partners can reclaim responsibility for their own happiness.(00:32:50) Friendships, Attachment Styles, and CommunicationVanessa and her co-host model conflict resolution through a commitment to talk about issues openly.The cultural trap of expecting a partner to “reparent” us and why it can kill romantic attraction.Building safety without losing mystery or eros in long-term relationships.(00:40:17) Therapy, Accessibility, and the Power of Group WorkWhy therapists need therapists, and the stigma that still exists around seeking help.Alternative paths to healing: coaches, low-cost...

You've grown — but others still expect the old you. If you've been shrinking to keep the peace, this episode helps you stop self-editing and start honoring who you've become, without apology.You've evolved. But the people around you — family, clients, old colleagues — still relate to the version of you that no longer exists. And without realizing it, you begin shrinking. You soften your words. You avoid saying what's true. You tone it down to keep connection intact.But here's the truth: shrinking doesn't preserve connection — it fractures authenticity.In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, Julie Holly helps you name this stretch with compassion and clarity. You'll learn why your nervous system resists visibility, how “don't be too much” becomes a quiet script, and what to do when you feel the pull to edit your voice or shrink your spark.You'll also hear how Julie navigated a personal season of outgrowing a table she once set — and why honoring identity growth sometimes means releasing roles that no longer align.This episode is a deep exhale for anyone who's tired of self-abandoning for the sake of loyalty, image, or familiarity. If you've been shrinking — even subtly — this is your permission to stop.In This Episode, We Cover:Why we shrink even when we're proud of our growthThe nervous system's hidden role in tone-policing yourself“Don't be too much” — how it shapes our identity expressionJulie's personal experience of outgrowing a table she createdHow to model identity integrity in leadership and lifeWhy alignment requires visibility — even when it's uncomfortableA fresh take on Michelle Obama's Becoming and identity as evolutionHow ILR helps you outgrow survival roles and honor your next chapterToday's Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself:Where have I been shrinking so others don't feel stretched?Where am I still apologizing for who I've become?Anchor this:“Shrinking doesn't preserve connection. It fractures authenticity.”If people look to you — whether in your family, your workplace, or your friend group — you're shaping culture. Model what it looks like to stand in your integrity. Not arrogantly, but unapologetically.Let them see the real you — even if they're still catching up to her.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Today, I'm talking about a pattern that's silently robbing high-achieving Black women of money, joy, and energy: self-abandonment.  What is Self-Abandonment? Self-abandonment happens when you leave yourself emotionally, mentally, or physically to secure someone else's comfort, approval, or validation. It's when you side with others over yourself. We do this because somewhere along the line, we learned being fully ourselves wasn't safe. For Black women, this is compounded by generations of being told our bodies, voices, and desires needed to be managed to avoid backlash. 5 Signs You're Abandoning Yourself: You override your "no" - Agreeing to things that make you dread your calendar You need a "good reason" to rest - Otherwise, you feel guilty You shrink your joy - Speaking less, dimming your shine, or even stopping yourself from laughing You defer your decisions - Letting others decide for you, even on things that deeply impact you You gaslight yourself - Downplaying your needs or telling yourself you're overreacting The Cost Is Too High Studies show: The APA found that suppressing authentic self-expression is linked to higher cortisol and inflammation levels Harvard Business Review reports Black women face the steepest emotional tax in professional settings, leading to earlier burnout Chronic self-abandonment is associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and stress-related illness For high earners, this shows up as: Emotional: Loss of self-trust, chronic resentment, burnout Physical: Sleep disruption, weight fluctuations, immune issues, hypertension Relationship: Surface-level connections, resentment in partnerships The Path Forward Ask yourself: "What would I choose if I didn't need anyone's approval?"   Take Action Take my free quiz to discover how your nervous system and survival patterns may be blocking your clarity:

You've just been taught your whole life that love only “counts” if it fits in the monogamy box—even if that box is crushing you.I'm getting real about my own story—how I contorted myself in my first marriage until I barely recognized who I was, why I stayed way too long, and how my second marriage turned into something more honest, more spacious, and more us once I stopped shrinking and started telling the truth.We're diving into:The sneaky, everyday ways self-erasure shows up in relationships.Why “compromise” isn't the same as collaboration (and how to tell the difference).How your nervous system tries to keep you small—and how to rewire it so you can take up space.A quick grounding practice you can use before those scary, important conversations.Six tools to help you be fully yourself without automatically burning it all down.If you've ever thought you're “too much” for wanting more—more love, more connection, more you—this one's your permission slip to stop twisting yourself into a shape you don't even recognize.Links & Resources:Join Breaking Free From Monogamy → https://www.elleciapaine.com/breakingfreeHang out with me on TikTok → http://tiktok.com/@elleciapaineShare the Love:If this episode hit home, send it to your partner, your best friend, or that one person who's definitely tired of playing small.

EP297: Can I Trust Me to Show Up? In this episode, we take a close look at something we don't talk about enough: the quiet ways we drift from ourselves. We often pride ourselves on being reliable, supportive, and present for others—but what happens when we're not offering the same loyalty inward? This isn't about harsh self-criticism or impossible standards. It's about noticing the gap between what we say we want and what we actually follow through on when it comes to our own needs, boundaries, and truth. We explore why we tend to abandon ourselves in small ways and how that adds up over time—not because we're weak, but because we were taught to survive that way. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about remembering how to listen, recommit, and rebuild the trust you've been craving from within. No drama. No shame. Just one small, self-honoring moment at a time.   Three Takeaways: 1.     There's a big difference between being dependable for others and being dependable for yourself. 2.     The small moments where you follow through—or don't—have a bigger impact than you think. 3.     Rebuilding self-trust doesn't require perfection, just consistent presence and gentle repair.

Resentment gets a bad rap, but what if it's actually a guidepost?   This episode is a look inside one of my recent Catalyst Studio mentoring sessions, where a brilliant practitioner found herself loving the work… and hating how it made her feel. Sound familiar? She wasn't burned out, yet, but the resentment was building. And it wasn't loud. It was quiet, chronic, and easy to ignore. Until it wasn't.   We talked through where that resentment was coming from, how it tied to people-pleasing, guilt around pricing, and the belief that overdelivering somehow proves your worth. We named it. We mapped it. And then we got to work.   Inside this episode, I share the tools and scripts I gave her to start protecting her energy and time, without shrinking or apologizing. We talk about boundaries (internal and external), membership models, and why policies aren't just for your practice… they're for your passion.   If you've been carrying silent resentment, feeling overextended, or struggling to hold your own boundaries, this one's for you.   Let's talk about what needs to shift, before burnout makes the decision for you.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Resentment as a Burnout Warning Sign 05:00 The Pressure to Be Liked and Its Hidden Costs 08:13 Scripts for Saying No 10:12 Public vs. Private Boundaries 15:05 Self-Abandonment and Internal Boundaries 16:10 Practicing Discomfort 18:00 How to Spot Quiet Resentment 20:14 Building Structure for Sustainable Care 22:04 Final Reflections and the Catalyst Quiz   Links https://3nb09zv7070.typeform.com/archetype  https://drlarasalyer.com/shop  https://rightbrainrescue.com/p/membership-magic-design-your-3-tier-functional-medicine-membership-to-grow-and-scale https://drlarasalyer.com/2025/07/11/episode-154-the-big-comeback-ten-rules-that-changed-my-practice-and-life/    Connect with Dr. Lara Salyer:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode, we take a deeper look at the slow, often unnoticed ways we begin to disconnect from ourselves—especially when survival, acceptance, or love seemed to depend on it. Whether it started in childhood or in a past relationship, the moment you began second-guessing your gut or hiding your truth was likely a moment of self-protection. But over time, those small choices can add up to a life that doesn't quite feel like your own. We'll explore how shame, emotional detachment, and a need for approval can pull us away from our true voice—and what it means to gently start coming home to yourself. You'll be invited to reflect on your own turning points, not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion. Because the goal isn't to blame yourself for how you've coped—it's to recognize that you now have the power to choose something different.   Three Takeaways: 1.   There are moments in your story that quietly shaped how you relate to yourself - and they're worth revisiting with fresh eyes. 2.   What feels like a personality trait might actually be a survival pattern you no longer need. 3.   Reconnection doesn't happen in a single breakthrough - it's a series of tiny, loyal choices to stop leaving yourself behind.     Coming back  to yourself isn't dramatic. It's in the quiet choice to stop abandoning yourself -  even in the small moments.         Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode, we explore how emotional avoidance and self-abandonment often disguise themselves as being “helpful,” “productive,” or “strong.” Whether it's saying yes too quickly, fixing others' emotions, or numbing out with distractions, these patterns are not bad habits - they're survival strategies we picked up when it wasn't safe to feel or express ourselves. We look at where these behaviors come from, why they served a purpose, and what they're costing us now. We discuss gentle, practical ways to begin recognizing and shifting these patterns. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why it's hard to stay with yourself emotionally and how beginning to do so—even for a few seconds at a time—is a powerful act of healing.     We don't always notice when we're abandoning ourselves – it can look like overdoing, over giving, or overcommitting.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

What happens when your ego hijacks your healing? That's exactly what this week's episode dives into—with real, raw stories that reveal how emotional growth can get derailed by the very part of us that's trying to protect our wounds: the Ego. I open up about how not wanting to feel like a burden led me to ignore my body's needs—and ultimately abandon my Inner Child. The result? A full-blown crash…and a gut-level wake-up call I couldn't ignore. I also reflect on moments when my ego took the wheel—deflecting blame, taking things personally, and unintentionally hurting people I care about. This is what it looks like when healing gets hijacked. But more importantly, this episode is a call to step up as the adult in your Inner Child's life, especially when the ego wants to run the show. That may mean reaching for tools, support, or resources that were never modeled for you—and choosing to respond in new, grounded ways. Healing isn't about perfection. It's about recognizing when old patterns are in charge, pausing, and making a conscious choice to do things differently—even when it's hard.

In this podcast, learn about the codependent communication struggles no one talks about. In codependency, the focus is usually on keeping the peace, avoiding conflict, and managing someone else's emotions, at the expense of your own truth. This makes authentic communication feel dangerous, especially if you grew up in a toxic environment where speaking up led to punishment, rejection, or emotional withdrawal. Poor communication is one of the defining features of toxic relationships, especially when one or both partners are codependent. Rather than say what they mean, codependent people tend to hint, people-please, or stuff their emotions down to avoid being abandoned. Over time, this leads to resentment, confusion, and emotional disconnection. Without clear, honest communication, even the strongest connection can break down under the weight of unspoken expectations and unmet needs. Healing from codependency means learning how to communicate with clarity, courage, and compassion. It requires unlearning the belief that your needs don't matter and developing the inner safety to speak your truth.  Whether you're in recovery from a toxic relationship or just starting to recognize codependent patterns in your life, learning how to communicate effectively is essential if you want to build real intimacy and self-respect. The first step, is telling the truth, and learning to take accountability for poor communication skills, while understanding with self compassion, it could literally be no other way.  Today, if this resonates with you, you have a shot at healing your life by unlearning the survival patterns that kept you feeling safe, that also kept you stuck repeating the faulty patterns from the past. Are you codependent? If so, you probably have an insecure, anxious attachment style, and the good news is, we can fix that!  Calling all serious, ready, willing and able souls who have the time and can invest in themselves at this time to finally take their lives back.

What happens when you realize the life you've built is running on self-abandonment? In this episode, Heather sits down with Renee Warren to talk about what it really takes to stop people-pleasing, honor your boundaries, and lead yourself from a place of truth instead of performance. Listen in as they explore:

EP. 211: In this episode, I'm sitting down with UK-based women's health practitioner Adele Winslett to talk about the intersection of ADHD, neurodivergence, and the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause. It's a raw, honest conversation about what happens when estrogen dips and the brain fog sets in and why you're absolutely not alone. We also explore how midlife can unmask long-standing ADHD and neurodivergent traits that were once manageable and how this shift can feel both disorienting and illuminating. If you've been silently struggling or questioning what's going on with your mind and body, this episode is a powerful reminder that there's clarity and support on the other side.
