You WILL Abandon Yourself (And You’ll Survive It)

Sometimes self-abandonment doesn’t look dramatic at all.Sometimes it looks like becoming hyper-logical to avoid conflict. Laughing things away while something is actually hurting you. Over-explaining yourself so nobody misunderstands you. Staying “understanding” long after your body already knows something feels off.In this deeply personal episode, Gen talks about the psychology behind self-abandonment, nervous systems, adaptation, attachment patterns, grief, emotional burnout and what it actually means to return to yourself without becoming emotionally cold in the process.From taking a job that didn’t feel aligned to realizing how many emotionally intelligent people are secretly exhausted from constantly adapting, this conversation explores the quieter side of survival that often gets rewarded by the outside world.This episode is for the people who became who everyone else needed before they ever learned how to fully hear themselves.And maybe most importantly:for the people who are slowly trying to come back.♡ Share the episode with someone who needs it.♡ Tag @withgenevieve on socials if you’re listening.Biggest of hugs, GenP.S.
