11: From Self-Abandonment to Self-Devotion (Learning to Reclaim Your Voice)

In this episode, I’m opening up about a pattern so many of us carry — self-abandonment — and what it looks like to begin choosing self-devotion instead.We’ll explore how self-abandonment can quietly show up through people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and silencing our truth to keep others comfortable. I share personal stories of how this showed up in my past relationship and how deeply it disconnected me from my voice, body, and sense of self.Then we shift into the healing. I offer a compassionate, practical path toward self-devotion, where you begin nurturing your needs, tuning into your intuition, and coming home to the woman you’re becoming.If you’ve ever struggled to speak up, override your own knowing, or shrink yourself to maintain peace… this conversation is for you.The reflection prompt for you at the end of this episode:When was the last time I self-abandoned — and what might have shifted if I had chosen self-devotion instead?If you enjoyed this conversation, rate/review and share this episode with a friend.CONNECT:Join the Her Becoming Community on Instagram ⁠@herbecomingpod⁠Follow Kayla on Instagram ⁠@kaycountryman⁠⁠Schedule⁠ a 1:1 wellness coaching consultation with Kayla⁠Subscribe⁠ to Her Becoming on YouTube
