in this convo, i take you through the gnarly concept of self-betrayal, particularly for those who often take on the role of the strong one in their work and relationships. self-betrayal is not merely a lack of discipline but is deeply rooted in trauma responses such as people-pleasing. i take you deep into my personal experiences with addiction and the facade of being put together while struggling internally and i also share some practical tools for you to stop abandoning yourself and to cultivate unshakable self-trust and reliability.
