Many of us don't lose ourselves overnight—we lose ourselves one small compromise at a time.

In this episode of Sole Talk, we're exploring the hidden cost of self-abandonment and why so many of us learned to disconnect from our own needs, emotions, and truth in order to feel loved, accepted, or safe.

If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, over-explaining yourself, saying "yes" when you meant "no," or feeling like you've lost who you are inside your relationships, this conversation is for you.

Together we'll explore:

✨ What self-abandonment really is
✨ How childhood experiences shape this pattern
✨ The nervous system's role in people-pleasing and perfectionism
✨ Why we ignore our own needs to keep the peace
✨ Practical ways to rebuild self-trust and reconnect with yourself

Healing isn't about becoming someone new.

It's about remembering the person you were before you believed you had to leave yourself behind.
