When Pleasing Others Means losing Yourself

from The innerlight podcast · host Kathy Orah Sionit

In this episode I explore the often-overlooked patterns of self-abandonment and self-betrayal-the moments we ignore our own needs, silence our own truth, or stay in situations that don't feel right. This conversation is not about self-blame. It's about gently taking responsibility for our role in these patterns so we can become aware and begin to shift them. Through reflection and honesty, we open the door to rebuilding self-trust, self-respect, and healthier boundaries.
