In this episode, I’m talking about what it really costs to lose yourself — in relationships, in work, in identity, and in the quiet ways we override what we already know.
I share a deeply personal story about staying too long in a relationship I knew wasn’t right for me, what that season cost me emotionally and physically, and how it ultimately shaped the work I’m doing now. We also talk about the difference between knowing and acting, why so many women override themselves, and what it means to come back to yourself one honest choice at a time.
If you’ve ever felt yourself shrinking, bargaining, overexplaining, or trying to make peace with something your soul has already outgrown, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk about:
- losing yourself in relationships, work, or old identities
- the hidden cost of overriding yourself
- why familiar can feel safer than true
- how self-abandonment shows up in everyday life
- what it means to come back to yourself
- the connection between honesty, alignment, and healthier love

A question to take with you:
What am I overriding right now — and what might become possible if I stopped abandoning myself, even in small ways?
