Stop Abandoning YOURSELF for Love with Junie Moon

from Thrive After 45™ · host Denise Drinkwalter

💬 message Denise Junie Moon talks about what happens when you finally get honest about the ways you’ve been abandoning yourself in the name of love....Saying yes when your gut screams no.......walking on eggshells to keep the peace....trying to earn your worth through being chosen.Junie doesn’t hold back anything. She shares what it was like to leave a 20-year marriage, only to fall into the same painful patterns in a different relationship… ...until one sleepless night changed everything. That was her line in the sand moment - the one where she chose herself. Since then, she’s built a life and career anchored in radical self-love, deep healing, and helping other women do the same.This isn’t just about relationships, though. It’s about learning to trust yourself again. To notice when you’ve started dimming your light. To stop performing for love and start choosing it - with honesty, with boundaries, with softness and strength.You’ll hear us talk about: – Why “healthy selfish” is the most loving thing you can practice – How shadow work helps you uncover what’s really going on underneath the surface – What changes when you stop abandoning yourself and start getting honest – The difference between settling and choosing peace – And how midlife isn’t a decline - it’s a doorwayYou’re not too old. You’re not too late. You’re not broken. You’re just ready for more.✨ You can connect with Junie and follow along as she gets ready to launch her new live talk show Your Best Life with Junie Moon (which is gonna be SO good ... think Oprah meets the dating game): Instagram → @midlifeloveoutloud  Website → midlifeloveoutloud.com New show IG → @your_bestlifeshowAnd as always, thank you for being here with me inside the Thrive After 45™ Podcast.
