How to Love Others Without Abandoning Yourself
In this episode, we explore the subtle habit of self-abandonment, why our nervous system is often drawn toward what’s familiar, and how our subconscious beliefs quietly shape the relationships, opportunities, and patterns we experience in life. I share personal stories from my own healing journey, from family and romantic relationships, and how learning to stay with myself has transformed not only my life, but my relationships as well.
Together we’ll explore:
- the difference between caring and caretaking
- why people-pleasing becomes an unconscious habit
- how to love others without abandoning yourself
- why your life often reflects your subconscious beliefs and patterns
- and how boundaries can become one of the most loving things you do - for yourself and for the people around you.
Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering how to stay with yourself, even when life asks you not to.
If you’re craving deeper support, you can join Dharma Dojo anytime. Our theme this month is Stay With Yourself - a practice of learning to remain connected to yourself through life’s challenges, relationships, emotions, and everyday moments. Together, we explore what it means to stop abandoning yourself, build self-trust, and come home to who you truly are. Replays are always available, so you can move at your own pace.
