Are You Betraying Yourself to Belong? It's OK. Most Of Us Do.

Описание: What if the thing that hurt you the most… is the very thing that can become your gift to the world?

In this vulnerable share, I reflect on the deepest wound in my own story—not addiction or burnout, but years of self-betrayal. Abandoning myself to belong. Choosing safety and approval over authenticity. Living outside my values until I hit rock bottom.

I talk about how recovery became a process of reclaiming my wants, needs, and inner truth—and how creating a list of core values* to filter every decision through helped me rebuild a life aligned with self-care, connection, expansion, and impact.

We explore people-pleasing, fawning, choosing belonging over authenticity, and how subtle self-betrayal can quietly shape our entire reality. This is an invitation to reflect on your own values, your own unexpressed desires, and the places where you might be living outside your truth.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight—but small, intentional shifts toward your values can change everything.

What part of your pain might hold your purpose?
