🧡Your trust in yourself erodes every time you give your power to someone else.
🧡Your self-awareness decreases because you are constantly looking to others to solve problems or reduce discomfort.
🧡You begin to doubt yourself and rely on others to remind you of who you are—because you lose your connection to yourself.
🧡Your mental, emotional, and even physical health can decline.
🧡You miss out on what is joyful because you aren’t rooted in what makes you come alive.
🧡And most importantly, you are losing time—time that you could be spending understanding yourself, being genuine, and doing things you actually enjoy.
The truth is that we don’t know how much time we get here and personally, I would rather navigate a period of life where I’m uncomfortable and unsure than waste much more time in relationships or situations where I’m not being true to myself. I did that for long enough. I’m done now, and it’s so much better on this side.

🧡Everything I thought I was achieving by abandoning myself was not real. It was a temporary band-aid that didn’t get me what I wanted. Eventually, the situation or conflict or confrontation I was avoiding always happened anyway. The ways I tried to manage my own discomfort distracted me from what was important to me and kept me from being who I deeply desired to be: someone who knows who she is and doesn’t forget it.

🧡Come Home to Yourself: Healing from Self-Abandonment is open for registration. I am SO EXCITED about this offering. It feels very resonant for me too. Come Home to Yourself is a 4 week hybrid workshop series with recorded videos and Live Q+As with me, plus a workbook so you can dig deeper into the topics we explore together. It’s a steal at $79 and I would really love to see you there.

I used to make myself small because I didn’t want to intimidate anyone or make them feel bad about themselves. I knew what I was good at and I stuck with what was palatable because I could show who I was without upsetting anyone. But it wasn’t the whole picture and it certainly wasn’t all of me. Just the parts that felt like they would be accepted.

Self-abandonment can be small and subtle, or it can be big and obvious. Either way, it means you’re leaving yourself and choosing someone else’s comfort or needs over your own. It means putting yourself on a lower level than others.

And what it really does is reveal how you feel about yourself.

🫀You can be real AND connected.
🫀You can stop saying yes when you mean no.
🫀You can stay with yourself, even when you’re afraid no one else will.
🫀Self-abandonment ends here.

Over the course of 15+ years as a therapist, I have helped hundreds of people learn to identify their self-abandonment tendencies and manage the overwhelming discomfort of disappointing people—because being true to yourself is more important than people-pleasing. I want to teach you how to be your most authentic self and have satisfying, connected relationships BECAUSE you are staying with yourself.

Remembering the day I found out I was cancer free (October 12!) and how it gives me the opportunity to celebrate this version of me. The one who was terrified but brave as hell, whose courage and mantra of “if I can get through this, I can get through anything” has translated to birthing children, navigating natural disasters, starting businesses, writing books, and moving through painful losses. Holding her close today and saluting how badass she really was ❤️ And of course, feeling immense gratitude for every single person who loved me through that time and whose belief in me guided me back to good health ❤️ I love you. I’m so happy to be here.
