PART 2: Why You Keep Settling for Crumbs: The Shame Loop, Overgiving, and Becoming the Connection You Crave

What if the love you’ve been chasing was never about the other person—but about the parts of you still waiting to feel worthy?

In this soul-shifting second half of The Guided Podcast’s two-part series on breadcrumbing, overgiving, and emotional starvation, Host Lindsay Morlock dives beneath the story and into the root of the pattern: the nervous system wiring, the shame loops, and the silent self-abandonment we carry when we’ve learned to earn love through effort.

This episode is for the empaths, the fixers, the strong ones—those who’ve stayed in low-nourishment relationships hoping crumbs might turn into closeness. Lindsay breaks down the energetics of overgiving, the myth of proving your worth, and the deep grief that comes when we realize we’ve been contorting ourselves just to belong.

You’ll hear:
 🔹 The real reason we over-function, stay silent, or settle for less
 🔹 The link between shame, shape-shifting, and survival
 🔹 How to stop performing for love—and become the love you’ve been waiting for
🔹 What true soul nourishment looks like in real, present relationships
🔹 A cosmic call-out on proximity vs. presence—and how Spirit meets you in stillness

If you’ve ever thought: Why do I give so much and still feel unseen?—this one is your permission slip to stop proving and start coming home to yourself.

Because you were never meant to survive on crumbs.
You are the feast.
