PART 1: Starving for Connection but You Keep Getting Crumbs

Have you ever poured your whole heart into a relationship—giving, supporting, showing up—only to feel emotionally starved?

In this raw, soul-baring episode of The Guided Podcast, I share one of the most pivotal and painful chapters of my becoming journey—what it meant to settle for breadcrumbs of connection while living with someone I deeply respected and cared for. What began as a sacred intention to deepen emotional intimacy turned into a wake-up call about unspoken agreements, performative giving, and the quiet ache of feeling invisible in your own home.

This is Part One of a two-part series: the story before the reckoning. A deeply personal exploration of overgiving, fantasy bonds, and the grief that comes when you finally realize someone mattered more to you than you mattered to them.

But make no mistake—this isn’t just about heartbreak. It’s about truth-telling. Pattern-breaking. And the courageous choice to stop abandoning yourself just to stay connected.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unappreciated, or quietly starved in a relationship that looked connected but never truly nourished your soul—this one’s for you.

Next week, in Part Two, I’ll guide you into the why—the trauma patterns, nervous system programming, and shame wounds underneath overgiving… and how I started choosing myself.

But first—we begin here.
 With the ache.
 With the honesty.
 With the cost of settling for less.
