    S2:E4 When You Stop Abandoning Yourself | Self-Trust, Boundaries, and People Pleasing

    In Season 2, Episode 4 of Kallaborate: Where Joy Becomes Your Foundation, Francene Treasure explores what happens after you make the big choices to protect your peace, and realize you may still be leaving yourself behind in smaller, quieter ways. When You Stop Abandoning Yourself is an honest conversation about self-trust, people pleasing, asking for help, making time for yourself, and the guilt that can come with choosing your own needs. Francene shares how she learned to depend on herself to avoid disappointment, why she intentionally schedules joy on her calendar, and how old voices from the past can still make her question whether her time, needs, and words matter. This episode is for anyone who is always there for others but struggles to ask for support, feels selfish for wanting time alone, or has become so good at needing nothing that they are no longer sure what they need. Topics include self-abandonment, self-worth, people pleasing, asking for help, boundaries, emotional healing, self-care, trusting yourself, finding your voice, and coming home to yourself. Because you do not have to change everything at once. Sometimes it begins with one kind thought, one honest answer, or one choice that includes you. Be one of the people you love. You deserve you too. 💜 SAY THEIR NAME Each month, Kallaborate holds space to honor the people we carry with us through our Say Their Name episodes.

    S2:E3 The Cost of Choosing Yourself | Boundaries, Family Guilt, and Trusting Yourself Again

    In Season 2, Episode 3 of Kallaborate: Where Joy Becomes Your Foundation, Francene Treasure explores the cost of choosing yourself after years of survival, family responsibility, trauma, people pleasing, and learning to keep everyone else comfortable. The Cost of Choosing Yourself is a gentle, honest conversation about boundaries, family guilt, self-trust, leaving what is unsafe, and protecting your peace even when it costs you belonging. Through personal storytelling, Francene reflects on the layers of choosing herself: leaving home before she had words for what she needed, escaping one kind of pain without realizing she was walking into another, finding her voice after emotional and domestic abuse, and eventually creating boundaries with family that brought both freedom and grief. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt guilty for setting a boundary, questioned whether they were selfish for choosing peace, stayed too long because others needed them, or grieved the family connection they wished they had. Topics include trusting yourself, setting boundaries, family estrangement, emotional healing, people pleasing, domestic abuse recovery, finding your voice, self-worth, protecting your peace, childhood trauma, survival roles, and coming home to yourself. Because the ache doesn’t always mean the boundary is wrong. Sometimes it means you’re grieving the belonging you wished was there. 💜 SAY THEIR NAME Each month, Kallaborate holds space to honor the people we carry with us through our Say Their Name episodes.
