But what happens when our commitment comes at the cost of our peace, identity, and well-being?Join Dr. Maxell as she unpacks the difference between healthy perseverance and unhealthy attachment, the hidden ways people-pleasing keeps us stuck, and why walking away is sometimes the most loving thing we can do for ourselves.If you've ever found yourself holding on because of who someone used to be, what something once meant, or because leaving felt like failure, this conversation is for you.Because sometimes the bravest thing we can do is stop abandoning ourselves in the name of devotion.
