Who Am I When Nobody's Watching
Welcome back to Loving Me Before I Love You, the space where we peel back the layers and stop pretending for the sake of love.
Today’s episode is not surface cute. This one asks that question we avoid when the world isn’t clapping, the lashes come off, and the mask is sitting on the bathroom counter: Who am I when no one sees me?
I sat down with mental health expert Lenita Sanford, known across social media as @shanimentalhealth. Her platform ministers directly to the silent wounds of daddy issues, abandonment, and the impact those early patterns have on how we choose men, how we show up in love, and whether we ever truly feel worthy of healthy relationships.
Together, we unwrap:
• the identity we perform vs the identity we protect
• how father wounds shape the self-concept we carry into adulthood
• why love feels safer in fantasy than reality
• steps to break the cycle of pleasing, pretending, and performing
• what accountability looks like when healing becomes real work
This conversation will pull something out of you. No sugarcoating. If you’re tired of shrinking, tired of being strong, tired of being loyal to pain, this episode will invite you to see the version of yourself that deserves better.
