15: Stop Abandoning Yourself

In this conversation, Teresa and Brandi dive into the raw, unfiltered truth about love, authenticity, and what it really takes to stop abandoning yourself. Together, they explore how childhood imprints, past relationships, and scarcity mindset shape the way we show up in love — and why so many of us end up performing instead of allowing ourselves to be seen. They unpack the myths of “unconditional love,” the importance of radical acceptance, and the courage it takes to unmask yourself so real connection can finally happen. Through embodiment practices, breath, and movement, they discuss how to return to the body, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with the truth beneath the fear. This episode is a powerful reminder that self-love is not a destination — it’s a daily practice, a returning. And when you stop running from yourself, everything begins to shift.
