    119. Loving Others, Losing Yourself: The Hidden Cost of Self-Abandonment

    What if the ways you've learned to love others… have come at the cost of abandoning yourself? In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, I explore the concept of self-abandonment—what it looks like, how it shows up in our daily lives, and the quiet ways it impacts our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. We talk about the subtle patterns of self-abandonment, like prioritizing others' needs over your own, habitual self-sacrifice, and losing trust in your own voice. I share how these behaviors disconnect us from who we truly are—and why rebuilding self-trust is the foundation for real change. This conversation also offers practical, empowering steps to begin choosing yourself again. From honoring your thoughts and feelings to making small, intentional decisions that support your future self, this episode is about returning to self-love in a grounded, sustainable way. ✨ An invitation to reconnect with yourself, rebuild self-trust, and live brighter from a place of alignment and authenticity.   Get Your FREE Unravel Notebook Chapter for This Week: https://www.livebrighter.info/lead-collection For More Information: https://www.livebrighter.info/ Get the Unravel Notebook HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Unravel-Notebook-Tara-Wolfe-Schaan/dp/B0CTPDWJ8L   PODCAST CHAPTERS:    01:20 — 6 Signs of Self-Abandonment 09:29 — Shifting from Self-Abandonment to Self-Love 11:57 — Building Self-Awareness & Self-Trust 15:56 — Having Your Own Back & Creating Empowering Narratives 17:58 — The Advantages of Self-Love Over Self-Abandonment 18:30 — Guided Reflection Session     Follow us on our Socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livebrighterwithtara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Live-Brighter-with-Tara/61552844352218/   Grow 1% each day, I believe in you!
