People-Pleasing, Guilt & Self-Abandonment: Why You Keep Choosing Everyone But Yourself

In this episode of the Inner Space podcast, Nisha is joined by Teena from Ungaslighted for a deeply honest conversation about self-abandonment and the subtle ways so many women lose connection with themselves in everyday life.We explore what it really looks like when you override your own needs—often not in obvious or dramatic ways, but in the small, repeated patterns of saying yes when you mean no, over-giving in relationships, and prioritising being liked over being honest.For many women, these patterns don’t come from nowhere. They are often shaped early on through conditioning around being “good,” “easy,” or “low maintenance,” where emotional expression or personal needs weren’t always given space or validation.This conversation goes beyond awareness - it speaks to the lived experience of women who look like they’re coping on the outside, but internally feel disconnected, exhausted, or out of alignment.Ways to Work With MeIf this episode resonates and you’re noticing these patterns in your own life, I currently have a couple of spaces available for one-to-one work or in my Wellbeing Workshop.This is for women who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, over-giving, or self-doubt, and want to rebuild a stronger sense of self-trust, boundaries, and internal authority.Work With Me: Request Your Consultation CallWomen's Circle + Talking Work With Teena
