In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Seventh House. She explores the Seventh House as a place where self-abandonment can happen so easily because our desire for connection, safety, and intimacy can become tangled with fear, projection, old agreements, and the need to be loved or validated. Topics She Covers: The Emergence Astrology Pathway Year One as a slow, deep curriculum for identifying when you are not in yourself and learning to anchor back into your own knowing. Gnosis as your own knowing: the thing no one can take away from you. The Seventh House as one-on-one relationships, including romantic relationships, friendships, partnerships, and the ways we find out who we are through others. Projection, intimacy, trust, boundaries, and the difference between intuition and projection in relationship. Energetic contracts and agreements, including the old relational patterns we may have agreed to when we were younger and the fear that arises when we want to update them. The deep vulnerability of intimacy and the ways we can protect ourselves from being hurt by closing our hearts, projecting fear, or refusing to listen in conflict How difficult it can be to stop self-abandoning in relationship because we cannot control how another person will respond when we grow, change, or update the terms of connection. Through the lens of the Seventh House, she invites listeners to consider the relational agreements they may still be living inside, the fear that keeps those agreements in place, and the possibility of repair through real-time relationship, deeper self-responsibility, and learning to hold our own emergence without abandoning ourselves.

"You have set up this pattern where you completely abandon yourself unconsciously and make it about the other person because you believe on an unconscious level that that is the way that you will get love, connection, and ultimately survive."Codependency is one of those words I've avoided for a long time, not because it isn't real, but because I think it gets oversimplified in a way that misses what's actually happening. The deeper I go in my own process and the deeper I take my clients who've been doing this work for a while, the more I see that the layers of codependency we're dealing with aren't just behavioral. They're energetic. They started before we had language for any of it. And they've been running silently underneath every relationship, every decision, and every moment we've felt depleted, resentful, or like we're hitting a wall, without understanding why.What I've been uncovering, for myself and for the women I work with, is that so much of what we think is just "who we are" is actually a set of coping mechanisms we created in childhood to survive the emotional environment we were in. The way we automatically say yes. The way we absorb other people's feelings and lose track of our own. The way we don't even realize we have a choice. In this episode, I'm diving into what the deeper layers of codependency actually look like energetically, why they're so hard to see, and what it's meant for me to start pulling on these threads in real time, including some very personal things I've been navigating.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy codependency goes far deeper than its mainstream definitionHow childhood coping mechanisms get wired into the nervous system as survival responses, not conscious choicesThe mother wound as the blueprint for every relationship pattern that followsThe Boomer generation, Pluto in Leo, and why narcissistic tendencies in parents are more common than most people realizeWhy highly sensitive, empathic women often can't tell the difference between their own feelings and everyone else'sThe moment I recognized I'd been operating from guilt and shame every time I said yesHow the same patterns that come from trauma become your greatest gifts once they're alchemizedThe energetic and astrological context for why so many of us are in a deep unraveling right nowThe questions to ask yourself when you're stuck, depleted, or repeating the same patterns**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**When you leave a review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts and send us a screenshot of it, we'll send you a $250 credit that you can apply to anything else in my world.Check out Breathwork to Heal Anxiety on my YouTube channelJoin me in The Metamorphosis which is my 3-month, groundbreaking, flagship program to rapidly and efficiently clear the familial and ancestral trauma that is blocking you from experiencing the wealth and freedom that you desire.Starting a business or working with clients?

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the belief that women are "too much" and explores how cultural conditioning teaches many women to shrink themselves to maintain acceptance and harmony. Drawing from personal experience, leadership research, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology, Andrea explains why visibility can feel unsafe, how self-silencing affects confidence and income, and why taking up space is often a nervous system challenge rather than a capability issue. She shares practical strategies for trusting your intuition, setting boundaries without over-explaining, and reclaiming your authority in business and life.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Sixth House. She explores the Sixth House as a place where shame often gathers around capacity, productivity, health, organization, and what it means to tend to devotion without policing. Topics She Covers: The momentum of moving through the houses as a framework for attention, immersion, and revelation. Gnosis as the wisdom, truth, insight, and knowing that no one can take away from you. The Emergence Astrology Pathway as a space for cultivating personal and collective gnosis. Self-abandonment as something we have to learn to identify, name, and refuse so we can come back into innocence and bring ourselves home. The Sixth House as a realm of bodies, care, energetic health, daily systems, administrative life, and the commitment to living in a body on planet Earth. How shame can distort our relationship to health, capacity, productivity, care, systems, and the way we tend to what needs our attention. Britten reflects on how difficult it can be to know how to care for ourselves inside systems and cultures that do not prioritize care. She names the shame many of us carry around our bodies, our capacity, our administrative lives, and the day-to-day systems that support our health and ability to function. Through the lens of the Sixth House, she invites listeners to imagine tending to these parts of life without shame as the authority: not from punishment, anti-aging, productivity, or inherited conditioning, but because we are people who turn toward life. This episode is an invitation to decondition the shame of the Sixth House and return to a more loving, clear, and present-time commitment to being here with ourselves, in this body, every day.

You told yourself you weren't going to text him.You meant it.Then your phone buzzed... or the loneliness got louder... or the pressure inside became impossible to ignore.And before you knew it, you hit send.In this episode, Dawn, Coach Tiffini, and Joy explore one of the most frustrating post-divorce patterns women experience: reaching for false connection when what they're actually craving is relief.Because the truth is, texting him back usually isn't about him.It's about the discomfort you're trying to escape.Together, they unpack the deeper forces underneath the urge to reach out—including attachment wounds, loneliness, validation-seeking, nervous system dysregulation, productivity addiction, and self-abandonment.They discuss: Why the urge to text your ex feels so overwhelming What is actually happening in your nervous system before you hit send The surprising ways loneliness causes women to betray their own values Why validation can become addictive after divorce How old attachment patterns follow us into new relationships The difference between temporary relief and genuine healing Why community matters when you're trying to break painful cycles Practical tools for interrupting the urge to reach out Most importantly, this conversation offers compassion.Because if you've ever found yourself asking, "Why do I keep doing this?" the answer is probably much bigger than a text message.The text is just the fruit.This episode helps you understand the tree.Mentioned In This Episode Attachment wounds and nervous system healing Self-abandonment vs. self-trust IFS (Internal Family Systems) The role of loneliness in divorce recovery Why healing requires more than willpower Ready to heal with women who understand?Join us inside Cocoon, our free community for women navigating divorce, rebuilding self-trust, and creating lives that feel grounded, secure, and fully their own.We'd love to meet you there.

That moment when you finally get quiet and realize you don't know what you want anymore can feel terrifying and weirdly ordinary at the same time. Today I'm going to shine a light on what's happening for so many women in unhappy marriages and in the aftermath of divorce: identity loss through self-abandonment, the slow, almost invisible disappearing act that can look like love while it quietly erases you.I'll talk about how this pattern builds over years through tiny decisions like deferring to his preferences and decisions, putting your needs at the bottom of the list, and learning to distrust your intuition. I connect the dots between cultural conditioning, the pressure to be the caretaker and emotional manager, and why so many women only initiate divorce after they've tried everything. Then we get practical. I walk through clear signs of emotional self-abandonment. And I finish the episode with five simple steps to rebuild self-trust.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Fifth House. She explores the Fifth House as a place where energy flows into what we love, what we create, what we pour ourselves into, and what carries something of us out into the world. Topics She Covers: The Moon as the beginning of Britten's relationship with mystery, intuition, energy, and lunar cycles. The new Emergence Astrology Pathway Year One curriculum as a return to her lunar teachings, with three strands: lunar transmissions, intuition skills building, and ritual wisdom. The Fifth House as children, hobbies, romance, students, creativity, pleasure, and the generous movement of energy through and beyond us. How self-abandonment shows up when we believe our generative capacity is worthless, unproductive, selfish, or not valuable to ourselves or others. The spiritual consequences of shutting down our creative channel, denying ourselves play, or pouring all of our energy into a job, partner, friend, or relationship that demands everything from us. Britten reflects on the way the Moon first claimed her in 2017 and led her into a life organized around listening, mystery, and creative devotion. From there, she traces how her lunar teachings have evolved over time and why the reimagined Emergence Astrology Pathway is built to move slowly, gently, and deeply. Through the lens of the Fifth House, she invites listeners to notice where they may be withholding their energy, denying their right to pleasure, or believing they have nothing to give. This episode is a call to repair the shame around creativity and to remember that our energy is meant to run, move, pour into something, and be shared.

What if midlife awakening isn't about having all the answers?What if it's about finally telling yourself the truth?In this deeply personal solo episode, Wendy reflects on her own midlife awakening and the long journey toward self-trust, listening to her body, and no longer explaining away what she knew deep down.For years, she became a master at minimizing discomfort, rationalizing away red flags, and convincing herself that things were "fine." Sound familiar?This episode explores the quiet ways many women lose touch with themselves through people pleasing, self-abandonment, and the habit of putting everyone else's needs ahead of their own.Wendy shares:✨ Why awakening has its own timing
What happens when you realize you've spent your entire life abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable?In this deeply powerful episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie DeLucca-Collins welcomes back author, energy healer, and boundary expert Stephanie McAuliffe for an honest conversation about generational trauma, emotional healing, boundaries, people pleasing, and learning to trust yourself again.Stephanie shares her personal story of growing up in a family where emotions were silenced through alcohol, how those patterns shaped her relationships and career, and how she ultimately transformed her life after the collapse of her marriage and Wall Street career.This episode dives into:emotional healinggenerational traumafamily dynamicspeople pleasingself abandonmentenergy protectionpersonal boundariesinner child healinglearning to trust yourselfIf you've ever felt emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or stuck repeating unhealthy patterns, this conversation will resonate deeply.
Last week, we started a conversation about people pleasing, overgiving, and what happens when helping everyone else starts hurting you. This week, we're going deeper. Because the real issue isn't helping people. The real question is: Who are you if nobody needs you?Many of us learned that being useful was the safest way to receive love, approval, connection, or a sense of worth. We became the helper, the fixer, the caretaker, the strong one. We learned to anticipate other people's needs while often ignoring our own. But eventually, that way of living catches up with us. The exhaustion. The resentment. The feeling of being unseen. The disappointment when the people we've given so much to don't show up for us in the same way. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the deeper wounds beneath people pleasing and the hidden cost of building your identity around being needed. We talk about: -why helping others can feel so good -the difference between love and validation -overgiving, burnout, and resentment -why so many helpers struggle to receive support -healthy community versus rescuing -what happens when your worth becomes tied to your usefulness -how to begin reconnecting with your value beyond what you do for others Because being needed is not the same as being loved. And your worth was never meant to depend on how much of yourself you give away. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Fourth House: a realm of home, lineage, childhood context, caregivers, private life, and the places we come from. She explores the Fourth House as the context of you, encompassing the emotional, energetic, and ancestral field that shaped how you learned to take up space, come home to yourself, and understand what safety feels like. Topics She Covers: The houses as zones of terrestrial human life, where our most pleasurable and painful experiences unfold. Why Emergence Astrology begins with intuition, energy, personal gnosis, and learning to hear yourself before learning astrology. Shame as a context we often don't realize we're seeing through, and unshaming as the practice of removing those lenses. The Fourth House as the childhood home, caregivers, lineage, land, family, and the energetic quality of the place you came from. How individuation asks us to identify and surpass the core strivings of our caregivers so we can reclaim our own foundation. The Fourth House as the place where we learn to build a home within ourselves, cultivate safety, and create a private life that can truly hold us. Britten reflects on how difficult it can be to see the Fourth House clearly because it is often the very context we grew up inside. Until we begin to individuate, or until a major transit wakes this part of the chart up, the Fourth House can feel mysterious or hard to describe. Through the lens of Emergence Astrology as a path of repair, presence, and congruence, she invites listeners to consider how self-abandonment forms inside early contexts and how we can begin to untangle from inherited patterns, come back into our own house, and let the Fourth House become a frame that holds us.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Third House: a realm of language, learning, fluency, words, education, siblings, nearby community, and the ways we shape reality through what we say and hear. She explores how self-abandonment can happen through language itself: through shaming educational systems, intimidating spiritual or astrological spaces, comparison, perfectionism, and the fear that something is wrong with us if we do not learn, speak, or understand in the same way as someone else. Britten reflects on re-recording this episode after realizing the first version carried a subtle striving to prove that she knew what she was doing. From there, she opens into a more honest exploration of self-trust, self-doubt, and the emergent changes happening inside her business ecosystem as she prepares to open the Emergence Astrology Pathway. Along the way, she shares Caitlin Westcott's reflections on learning astrology as a symbolic language and uses them as a doorway into the Third House: how language develops through immersion, relationship, observation, practice, and lived experience. Through the lens of Emergence Astrology as a language of repair, recovery, remembering, and renewal, she invites listeners to consider how the words we speak internally and externally create our world, and how staying with ourselves through mutation can become a liberating practice rather than another place to leave ourselves behind.

In this powerful episode of This Changes Everything, Sarah sits down with attorney-turned-betrayal recovery coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and author Lora Cheadle to explore a provocative idea: what if what we call burnout is actually betrayal?Building on recent conversations about nervous systems, survival responses, and authenticity, this episode dives into how chronic exhaustion is often a signal of deeper misalignment, not just overwork. Lora Cheadle, author of It's Not Burnout, It's Betrayal, breaks down how self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and high-functioning survival patterns disconnect us from our needs, identity, and emotional truth.Together, Sarah and Lora explore why high achievers often miss the signs of self-betrayal, how the body signals misalignment before the mind catches up, and why authenticity can feel threatening after years of survival mode. They also unpack what real healing looks like: rebuilding self-trust, setting boundaries, and learning to stop abandoning yourself in relationships, work, and identity.This is a conversation about burnout, yes, but more importantly, it's about coming home to yourself.Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/d31uDGet 20% off today with promo code SHTCE at https://aquatru.comDISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

Today, I interview Lizzie Siegel, who came into this world deeply connected to her gifts but spent years learning to suppress them, until a series of accidents, illnesses, and a relationship where she felt completely invisible forced her to stop abandoning herself and come back to her voice.Raised with a heightened sensitivity that others around her often misunderstood, Lizzie spent nearly two decades as an international school teacher before her body began breaking down from years of ignoring her inner voice. Autoimmune diseases, a spinal injury, and a recommended hip replacement were the signals she could no longer dismiss.Through energy healing, sound work, and a journey across more than 70 countries, she found her way back to the voice she had always had, and built a practice around helping others remember theirs.__________________Lizzie Siegel is a Resource and Reality Architect, Subconscious Freedom Coach, and global gridworker who has traveled to over 70 countries activating the Earth's energetic grids, sacred sites, and collective consciousness. She works at the intersection of voice, frequency, and remembrance, using sound, light language, and intuitive transmission to awaken what she calls Divine Source Codes within the human system.With a rare clairaudient gift, Lizzie hears beyond words, reading the energetic field of what is spoken, suppressed, and ready to be liberated. Her presence alone becomes a catalyst for transformation, dissolving deep rooted patterns of fear, trauma, and limitation, and recalibrating individuals at the level of identity, nervous system, and soul.She doesn't just help people find their voice. She helps them remember who they were before they ever learned to silence it.__________________Find Lizzie here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizziesiegel/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lilybity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzienamasteplantbased/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartshomewithlizzie/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heartshomewithlizzie Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2y8L6exu2GxJeBQSEUSX5K?si=0a10cdc09bec41c4 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hearts-home-podcast/id1648081724Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

"Your life is a garden and whatever you cultivate is what springs up, and if you don't pull out certain weeds, it ends up choking out the good stuff." My good friend, Dr. Word Smith is back for the third time. He flew into Philly, we sat down with zero agenda, and what came out was one of the most honest, layered conversations I've had on this show about relationships, childhood wounds, codependency, Buddhism, karma, and what it actually takes to change.We get into why intimate relationships are the sharpest mirror we have for our unprocessed childhood material, and why most of us don't even have language for what we didn't receive growing up, only a feeling that something was missing. Word shares his own journey through toxic shame, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and what it looked like to actually move through it over 25 years of real inner work. We also dive into Buddhism, the concept of seed planting, why just changing your thoughts doesn't work, and why the feelings and the body have to be part of the equation.Then we go deep into codependency, the slow, invisible way it builds, how it rewards you just enough to keep you stuck, and what it means to finally hit the wall where continuing the old way is no longer an option. We talk about the container: what it means to have a safe space where your body knows it can finally feel, and why that safety isn't a luxury, it's the actual mechanism of change. We close with a tease: we may be co-facilitating a retreat this fall. Stay tuned.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy intimate relationships trigger us more than anything elseThe moment Word finally understood what toxic shame wasHow to trace shame back to childhood: what questions to ask yourselfWhy affirmations alone don't work, and what you're missing when you skip the feelings and bodyBuddhism, karma, and seed plantingCodependency: a survival mechanism that stops serving youThe perimenopause layer: why women in their 40s suddenly can't tolerate the old patterns anymoreSelf-abandonment disguised as being a good mom, wife, partner, and how to start seeing itThe container: why your body knows when it's safe to feel, and why that space is the key to processingFall retreat announcement.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Second House: a realm of livelihood, abundance, resources, and our relationship to what sustains us. She explores why self-abandonment can feel especially charged here, tracing the ways scarcity, inherited conditioning, and larger oppressive systems shape our beliefs about worth, provision, and what is possible. Returning to themes of innocence and unshaming, she asks listeners to consider how deeply conditioned stories about money and resources can pull us away from trusting ourselves. Britten reflects on her own relationship with financial healing, sharing how recovery, grief, and rebuilding trust in herself became part of reclaiming agency after divorce. Along the way, she explores the Second House as a place where we learn to return to our own house rather than surrender ourselves to someone else's authority or inherited ideas about safety. Through the lens of Emergence Astrology as a path of repair, remembering, renewal, and recovery, she invites listeners into a different possibility: relating to themselves as the well, trusting their own regenerativity, and slowly learning to believe that abundance can move through them rather than live somewhere outside of them.

This episode focuses on how to handle when change is needed in life related to negativity or toxicity. How to develop practices that support staying aligned with our values and avoiding self abandoning behaviors.
What if everything you were taught about success and leadership was causing you to abandon your own needs? This conversation will completely change how you see work, identity, and what it means to truly win in life.In this episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with Dr. CarolLaine M. Garcia, a Dominican-American I/O psychologist, decolonial researcher, and creator of Queen Mindset Leadership(R) who spent a decade consulting for Fortune 500 companies before walking away to rebuild leadership from lived experience.CarolLaine unpacks why self-abandonment has been typecast as leadership, and what it actually means to lead from wholeness rather than exhaustion. You'll learn about the four data centers of mind, heart, body, and spirit that most leaders leave completely offline, why burnout recovery starts with tuning into the intelligences you've been trained to ignore, and how personal development rooted in creativity and decolonial thinking can transform the way you lead yourself and others.Whether you're navigating burnout prevention, questioning traditional leadership development, or simply tired of performing a version of success that doesn't feel like yours, this conversation will give you both the language and the permission to lead differently.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, mental health, and the hard skills nobody teaches you.Learn more about Dra.

In this episode, Britten begins a new series exploring self-abandonment through the twelve houses of the birth chart, opening with the First House as the realm of arrival, direction, and how we enter the field of life. Returning to themes from her recent reflections on The Matriarchy is Already Here, she traces the relationship between shame, self-trust, and the ways we learn to leave ourselves behind. Britten's Emergence Astrology sees the language as one of repair, recovery, renewal, and remembering. One that helps reveal where self-abandonment lives and what becomes possible when we choose to stay with ourselves. Britten explores the First House as the helm of the chart: the place connected to action, choice, and the way we steer the boat of our lives. She reflects on self-abandonment as a loss of trust in our own way of moving through the world and asks what it means to remain with ourselves instead. Along the way, she shares why the practice of listening with the Moon has become foundational to the reimagined Emergence Astrology Pathway, her one-to-three year program through the heart of her teachings. Rather than turning away from our own knowing, she invites listeners into a practice of attunement: listening, returning, and learning to trust themselves over time with the reckless freedom they deserve. Learn More About The Emergence Astrology Pathway: The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a one-to-three year passage to utterly transform your relationship to being alive in your body on planet earth in present time. "The Matriarchy Is Already Here" is a phrase that came to Britten this year in a vision. In this vision, she sees the matriarchy not as a top-down political system that rises up with singular leaders. Rather, the matriarchy is all of us – in all bodies – learning to attune to and take care of the Younger Selves within us, helping us trust that we cannot be abandoned when we have ourselves. Disobedience is the way out. But first: we learn to listen within. We gather in community. We devote ourselves each to our own temples. We resource with the divine within and all around us. And we disrupt as we have the capacity to stay with ourselves through the storm of our true voices. The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a path through Britten's most refined, mature, and powerful curriculum. This experience is designed for those who ever find themselves in a position to support another. Whether you're an established therapeutic practitioner, a leader, a parent, or simply a human being with the sincere desire to show up in your fullest integrity, the Emergence Astrology Pathway will be the remembering and the revelation that you most yearn for.

Kelly Chase, the breakout star of Love Is Blind, Season 1, brings something to this conversation that goes far deeper than what the world got to see when she said "no" at the altar. As a Type 3. we get to talk about the inside of the life of a type 3, as Kelly talks about both sides of the Performer personality, the side that performs to others and abandons self, and the version of herself that was slowly disappearing in the effort to keep everyone else comfortable, and the side that finally knows more and more who she is and what she needs to do for a healthy and balanced, authentic life. This conversation goes into nervous system regulation, rejection wounds, chemistry versus true compatibility, and what it looks like when a heart type finally stops performing her way through life and starts actually feeling it instead, plus ways for YOU to be coached and dialed in with your own business!

A 58-year-old woman came to me stuck, frustrated, and ready for change. When I walked her through our program — the coaching, the accountability, the full support structure — she said we offered too much support. In this callout episode, we unpack why high-achieving women have been conditioned to distrust real help — and why that conditioning is keeping them stuck. If struggling alone has ever felt like strength to you, this episode is going to challenge that.If you're interested in more mindset and health hacks for overwhelmed women, find me on Instagram @jaimefilerfitness, or head to https://call.jaimefiler.com/form to learn more about the 16 week 3R Method
Today's podcast answers a question from someone who has come to realize their sense of self is damaged. This part of the healing work is often overlooked due to it being so close or detouring it due to us being nervous about the concept of “self”. If we have a damaged sense of self, it means we believe that we are unlovable, not worthy of love, and simply not good enough. This can predispose us to looking to external sources for validation, which can endanger us spirituality and set us up for more grief and shame. Self-abandonment leads us further away from God, self-denial brings us closer to God.
In this Dark Moon download, Britten reflects on the closing edge of the lunar cycle that began on April 17 and the themes that have continued surfacing across her work, relationships, and inner life. Returning to the phrase "the matriarchy is already here," she explores the strange experience of finding language for something that was already alive in the body before it could fully be spoken. Through stories from recent conversations, client work, and her own unfolding process, she reflects on what it means to stop abandoning yourself in subtle, everyday ways, and how self-trust deepens through repeated acts of attunement over time. Throughout the episode, Britten weaves together astrology, tarot, shame, and nervous system awareness to examine self-abandonment as both a personal wound and a collective pattern. She speaks about protectiveness, collapsed edges, obedience, and the ways people lose touch with their own authority in order to stay connected, safe, or approved of. Rather than framing healing as perfection, she returns again and again to the practice of staying with yourself. Listening, responding, updating in real time, and allowing your edges to become visible. This episode ultimately becomes an exploration of repair: how we reclaim authority, rebuild trust with ourselves, and slowly learn to belong to our own lives again.

This week, I'm back with Alanna Kaivalya, PhD, author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman and expert on mythology, feminine psychology, and spiritual empowerment. This is part two of our conversation, and it might be even better than the first. We picked up right where we left off, and Alanna came with receipts. She goes deep on the practical, embodied, sometimes uncomfortable work of actually stopping the self-abandonment cycle. Not just recognizing it, but interrupting it in real time. We talked about what it means to reclaim your energy from the people and systems that have been draining it, what happens in your relationships when you start saying no, and why so many of us are still waiting for permission we were never going to get. (Link to our first conversation is in the show notes.) What you'll hear about in this episode: The one practice Alanna teaches every woman first: tuning into your body's “sacred no” and how to use it as a real-time pattern interrupt before you abandon yourself again Why stopping your over-functioning will feel messy at first, and why that mess is the point, including the laundry that will pile up and why you should let it The feminine guilt trap: why women feel guilty not for what we've done, but for what someone else might feel, and how to tell the difference between genuine wrongdoing and simply inconveniencing people Why Alanna believes the “let them” philosophy is being used against us, and why she wants to make accountability sexy again instead What Alanna's own past relationship revealed about the danger of “masculine armor,” and what happens when a capable woman attracts a partner who uses her strength as permission to stop showing up Last, a reminder to follow me on Substack if you want to get my longer form writing I've been doing lately. I'll be writing to unpack some pretty big topics, and would love to interact with listeners of the podcast over there

In this episode of This Changes Everything, we explore a powerful connection that quietly shapes every relationship in your life: the way you treat yourself is how you teach others to treat you.At the center of the conversation are core beliefs, the invisible, often unconscious stories we carry about our worth, love, and safety. Beliefs like “I'm too much,” “I have to earn love,” or “If I set boundaries, I'll be rejected” don't just live in our minds. They shape our behavior, our relationships, and what we tolerate.We break down how these beliefs are formed through childhood dynamics and past relationships, and how they show up in adulthood through patterns like over-explaining, accepting less than we want, and avoiding conflict even when something doesn't feel right. You'll also be guided through a simple exercise to help identify your own core beliefs in real time.From there, we move into the role of boundaries and how they are not about pushing people away, but about defining self-respect in action. Boundaries are one of the clearest expressions of self-love. They communicate what you will and won't accept, and they create the structure that allows relationships to feel safe, honest, and sustainable.At the heart of this episode is a key insight: we don't get treated how we want. We get treated how we believe we deserve. And boundaries are how we begin to rewrite that belief through action.This is a conversation about self-trust, emotional awareness, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself in the name of love.If you'd like to try the HILY Dating App, you can download it from the App Store or Google Play, or by visiting https://hily.comGo to https://aquatru.com now for 20% off your purifier using promo code TCE.DISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

The deepest wound in complex trauma is not emotional intensity. It is the learned loss of connection to yourself. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof open the next chapter of the CPT series by starting where the roots go deepest: self-abandonment. This is the pattern they chose to name first—and intentionally so—because when the nervous system learns that staying connected to the self is unsafe, nearly every other complex trauma response grows from that adaptation. Self-abandonment is not a personality flaw or a lack of self-awareness. It is a body-based survival strategy. From a neurosomatic perspective, it is a state-dependent loss of interoceptive access—a patterned inhibition of internal signals that the nervous system learned in order to stay attached, stay safe, and maintain stability in the relational environment. And like every other output explored in this series, it made complete sense at the time it formed. The conversation moves through the neuroscience of dissociation and how it is inseparable from self-abandonment, the brain regions involved, and what their altered activity actually looks like in everyday life. It explores the fawn response—including its lesser-discussed dimension of sexual fawning—and the specific pathways through which emotional neglect and parentification set the stage for chronic self-erasure. Jennifer and Elisabeth also trace how masking—whether in the context of neurodivergence, complex trauma, or systemic oppression—is another expression of the same root pattern: authenticity does not feel safe, so the self gets hidden. But this episode does not stop at the wound. Both hosts share what the growth edge of this pattern has actually looked like for them—what building interoceptive capacity from the ground up felt like in practice—and how self-attunement, the skill of staying present with internal experience without becoming overwhelmed by it, gradually became accessible rather than threatening. This is not a quick-fix episode. It is an honest, grounded map of one of the most pervasive and least visible patterns in complex trauma—and a clear-eyed account of what actually changes it. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why self abandonment is a survival adaptation rooted in the nervous system, not a character flaw How interoceptive access becomes inhibited under chronic relational threat, and what that feels like day to day The neuroscience of dissociation: which brain regions are involved and how their altered activity drives functional disconnection Why emotional neglect, even without overt harm, sets the stage for chronic self erasure How parentification creates a nervous system template of self abandonment that persists long into adulthood What fawn response is, how it operates neurologically, and why sexual fawning is a real and undernamed expression of it How masking across contexts including neurodivergence, complex trauma, and racial and systemic oppression overlaps with and compounds self abandonment What self attunement actually is as a nervous system skill and how it is different from insight or emotional processing alone Why healing is capacity-based rather than cathartic, and what that means for pacing How both hosts have rebuilt interoceptive access over time and what that process has opened up for them Chapters 0:00 - The Deepest Wound in Complex Trauma Is Not Emotional Intensity 0:38 - Welcome: Who This Episode Is For 1:27 - Introducing the CPT Series and Why We Start With Self Abandonment 2:53 - Defining Self Abandonment as a Nervous System Output 4:21 - Pete Walker, Fawn Responses, and How the Child Learns to Attune Outward 4:47 - The Neuro Somatic View: Interoceptive Access Under Chronic Threat 6:08 - Embodiment as the Opposite of Self Abandonment 6:35 - Collective and Intergenerational Dimensions of Self Abandonment 7:55 - What Self Abandonment Looks Like in Real Life: A Case Study 9:21 - Dissociation: What It Actually Is and Why It Is Inseparable From Self Abandonment 10:42 - Brain Science: The Insula, Hippocampus, Amygdala, and Thalamus 14:35 - The Fawn Response and Sexual Fawning 18:17 - Self Attunement: The Opposite of Self Abandonment 21:06 - Rebuilding Interoception: Starting Small 27:19 - Emotional Neglect as the Root of Self Abandonment 29:13 - Parentification and the Template of Self Erasure 31:21 - Masking: Neurodivergence, Systemic Oppression, and Complex Trauma 36:19 - What Growth Has Actually Looked Like for Jennifer and Elisabeth 40:20 - Stress Bucket Dysmorphia and Learning Your Real Capacity Resources and Links NSI Foundations Bundle for coaches and practitioners: neurosomaticintelligence.com/foundations Two week Rewire Trial of guided neuro somatic training: rewiretrial.com Learn more about Jennifer's work at her YouTube channel: Sacred Synapse https://www.youtube.com/@sacredsynapse-23 Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Many thoughtful Christian women believe they're stuck because they need more clarity. But what if the real issue is something deeper? In this episode, Christian life coach Renee Booe explores a subtle pattern she sees in many faith-driven women who feel called to more: self-abandonment disguised as humility. If you've ever silenced your desires, second-guessed your voice, or waited for permission before stepping into something God placed on your heart, this conversation will resonate deeply.

(0:00) – Introduction and Background of Allison Derani (2:13) – Allison's Journey and Grief in Recovery (5:21) – Parenting and Self-Abandonment (7:04) – The Ambiguous Grief of Self-Abandonment (7:50) – The Liminal Space of Sobriety (18:39) – The Importance of Listening to Questions (22:57) – The Practice of Slowing Down (25:21) – Closing Thoughts and Future Plans Allison Deraney is a woman in recovery from alcohol who credits sobriety for waking her back up to her first passion—writing. Currently a licensed real estate attorney, running her own business, she's writing more creativity into her days via her Substack, Dare To Be, and working on her first book, a memoir about the healing and revealing as we recover from the ambiguous loss of self-abandonment. Dedicated to speaking up and speaking out about living a conscious sober life, Allison lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two kids, and two rescue dogs, spending her free time wandering and wondering in nature, and cheering her kids on from the sidelines of the basketball court. Allison's book-to-be is about grief; not the traditional kind, though there is some of that in there. The biggest lesson she's learned in recovery is this: Rejecting grief, in all its iterations, is a form of self-abandonment. Grief requires that we surrender to it. So does addiction, compulsion of perfection and aging. It's a book that explores how my midlife journey is intersecting with the deeper parts of recovery in the most terrifying and beautiful way. It's a unique book in that it is written during the transformation. Because I am still in it. Sobriety has been my portal to Divinity and I'm here, feet planted on the threshold, weaving words to capture the experience as best I can. https://allisonderaney.substack.com Here are Allison's three favorite posts from her Substack, DARE TO BE, out of an immense pull to write through her sobriety. https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/setting-off-our-own-fireworks-a95?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/its-been-a-whole-hand?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/my-permission-sticks-they-still-keep?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Why do you overreact, shut down, or put everyone else first, even when you know it's hurting you? In this episode, Nicole LePera, breaks down how your “inner child” shapes your behaviors, from people-pleasing to perfectionism to emotional flooding, and how self-abandonment quietly shows up in your daily life. We also cover why these patterns aren't flaws, they're adaptations, and how to actually change them through nervous system regulation, awareness, and small, intentional shifts. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same cycles in relationships, this will change how you understand yourself and what healing really looks like. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

We share our own struggles with over-apologizing, people-pleasing, and learning to stop shrinking ourselves in relationships.If you've ever felt like:“I don't want to bother anyone…”“Sorry, this might be a dumb question…”“I'll just stay quiet to keep the peace…”…this episode is for you.Because the truth is: Meekness isn't weakness.

Send us Fan MailSo, let's talk about something that many of us don't even realize we're experiencing… self-abandonment. I don't think we truly understand what self-abandonment really means. A lot of times, we believe that because we have a job, a place to live, and a car, that we're doing just fine… that everything must be okay. But I say “okay” carefully… because sometimes that feeling of being just okay can actually be a warning sign — a quiet signal that we may be abandoning ourselves without even realizing it in the moment.https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
What starts to shift when you stop putting everyone else first… and finally come back to yourself?In this episode, I'm walking you through 10 powerful signs that you're no longer living in self-abandonment and what begins to change in your nervous system, your boundaries, and your sense of self when you do.If you've been feeling exhausted, overextended, or quietly disconnected from your own needs… this isn't a sign that something is wrong with you.

Why is it so hard for us to do what we actually want to do? In this episode, Forrest explains the hidden structure of self-abandonment: how shame drives the loop, how the loop produces more shame, and how the inner critic uses a “can't win” situation to keep us stuck. Then he and Dr. Rick explore what actually breaks the cycle, including the role of anger, the difference between shame and grief, self-compassion, and what it really means to get on your own side.
