No More Good Girl: The Year I Stopped Abandoning Myself

No More Good Girl: The Year I Stopped Abandoning Myself

This episode is a reclamation.

Today I’m telling the truth about the year I finally retired the “good girl” and stopped abandoning myself.

Not because I magically became unbothered, invincible, or spiritually bulletproof… but because every part of my life that wasn’t aligned became too heavy to keep carrying — and I had to put it down.

This episode unpacks the patterns I had to release, the identity rupture that shook me awake, and the moment I realized: I am the only person I will be with for every second of my life. So if I don’t choose me… nothing in my life will reflect the woman I’m becoming.

Inside this episode:

  • What self-abandonment actually looks like (the raw, human, non-Instagram version)
  • How survival patterns masquerade as personality
  • Why “being nice” is often just self-erasure in better packaging
  • The real story of my year-long unraveling — the relationship, the heartbreak, the hysterectomy, the identity shedding
  • The turning point that forced me to stop shape-shifting for approval
  • A practical roadmap for choosing yourself without collapsing into guilt
  • The tiny daily choices that rebuild self-trust
  • The five truths this year hammered into me
  • A toolbox to help you stop abandoning yourself and step into your next season with integrity

If you’re ready for a life that reflects the woman you’re becoming — not the girl you performed to survive — this episode is your nudge, your mirror, your permission slip.
