Show Notes
In today’s episode, we dive deep into the root of self-abandonment, masking, and people-pleasing—and how these survival mechanisms not only disconnect us from our true selves but can also manifest as emotional and physical illness. Building on last week’s discussion about the link between people-pleasing and autoimmune conditions, we explore how to create safety within ourselves to show up authentically and heal. I share practical steps to start setting boundaries, recognizing your true needs, and shifting your nervous system into a place of regulation and self-trust.
What you'll learn:
- How masking and people-pleasing lead to emotional and physical suffering
- Why boundaries are an act of self-love and a key step in healing
- How to create safety in your nervous system to be your authentic self
- The impact of self-abandonment on relationships and how to rebuild from within
- How healing yourself helps you model authenticity for your children
