About this listen

What happens when you’re raised by people who didn’t know how to love you, yet you long for love more than anything? In this episode, Sonja shares her journey of relentlessly searching for love—and the painful reality of mistaking love for something else.

We explore:
💔 How growing up without love can make us confuse love with something harmful
🌀 The connection between people-pleasing and the inability to self-love
❤️ Why being deeply witnessed in our pain is the first step toward real healing

💊 How antidepressants provide relief but can also blunt emotions
🌿 Why microdosing offers a different path—one of integration rather than suppression

Sonja shares, "When you don’t love yourself, you find yourself in situations where people take from you." This episode is a powerful reflection on reorienting pain, learning to love yourself, and breaking free from unhealthy patterns.
