The Cost of Abandoning Yourself – Why You Still Feel Unseen
Feelings You Can Trust – Episode 27
Sometimes the reason you feel unseen…is because you’ve been abandoning yourself to belong.
In this episode of Feelings You Can Trust, we explore identity, safety, and what it really means to feel aligned in your relationships and community.
Through our first listener letter, we talk about what happens when you don’t feel accepted — even in spaces that are supposed to understand you — and why you don’t have to force yourself to “cope” in environments that don’t feel safe.
We also unpack the difference between social identity and your true, spirit-based identity, and how abandoning yourself to meet expectations can keep you stuck in survival mode.
Because real belonging doesn’t require you to shrink.
