About this listen

Are you in a relationship where you feel like you’re starving for love — surviving on scraps when you long for a feast? 💔

In this powerful episode, Dr. Alanna Kaivalya, Ph.D., unpacks the painful truth of what it feels like when someone doesn’t love you enough. You’ll discover:

✨ Why breadcrumb love is worse than outright rejection
✨ How inconsistency creates confusion, self-doubt, and even illness
✨ Why so many smart, successful women still settle for less than they deserve
✨ The cost of accepting crumbs instead of demanding a feast
✨ The five steps to reclaim your self-worth, set boundaries, and choose real love

This episode will remind you that you’re not asking for “too much.” You’re asking for the right things: safety, security, trust, and cherishing. ❤️

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I enough?” — this conversation will give you the clarity to stop settling and start choosing yourself.
