In this episode of Women, Wounds & Wake-Up Calls, Juanita Price shares a simple moment that revealed a powerful truth about relationships, self-betrayal, and the quiet ways many women lose themselves while trying to love others.

After noticing blood on her dog’s coat, she immediately began searching for the injury — checking his paws, ears, and fur — only to discover the wound wasn’t his at all.

That moment became a striking metaphor for something many women experience in their lives, families and relationships.

Sometimes the wake-up call isn’t discovering someone else is wounded.

Sometimes the wake-up call is realizing you’ve been bleeding for a long time without noticing.

This episode may be the awakening you didn’t know you needed.

How do you know when love has crossed the line into losing yourself?

In this episode, drawn from Week Two of the devotional Women, Wounds, and Wake-Up Calls, we explore a truth many women quietly live with but rarely name: sometimes what we call love is actually self-abandonment.

Many of us were taught that being loving meant being endlessly patient, endlessly forgiving, endlessly understanding—even when it cost us our peace, our dignity, or our emotional safety. Over time, what began as compassion can slowly turn into something else: silencing our needs, ignoring our intuition, and adjusting ourselves just to keep a relationship intact.

In this episode, we examine how love can quietly become self-betrayal and why God never intended love to require the loss of who you are.

If you’ve ever felt yourself shrinking, over-accommodating, or disappearing in order to keep peace in a relationship, this reflection may speak directly to your heart.

This episode is part of the 52-week devotional journey Women, Wounds, and Wake-Up Calls - Unlearning What Our Need for Love, Approval & Belonging Has Cost Us.

Women, Wounds, and Wake-Up Calls is a 52-week journey exploring identity, healing, and the courage to become the woman God created you to be.
