You First- A Journey to Self
Stop Abandoning Yourself For The Relationship
After eloping in New Zealand and stepping into this next chapter of marriage, I started noticing something familiar: the quiet tendency to abandon myself in the name of love. In this episode, I’m sharing what it looks like to slowly lose yourself in a relationship—without even realizing it—and how I now catch it early, reset, and return to the woman I’ve worked so hard to become.
This is for the woman who gives so much to others that she forgets to give to herself. The one who’s constantly adapting, pleasing, or performing to keep things “peaceful,” but ends up feeling disconnected, depleted, or resentful.
Here’s what I open up about:
💍 How I started noticing the signs of self-abandonment
🌿 Daily rituals that help me feel like me again
🧠 How emotional burnout sneaks in through self-neglect
💗 What I do to stay grounded as a wife, stepmom, and business owner
🔥 Why devotion to self is the secret to magnetism
👑 How I romance myself—and why that matters more than ever
If you’ve ever felt like you were “too much” or “not enough” in a relationship—or like you were slowly disappearing under the weight of everyone else’s needs—this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
