The Costs of Self-Abandonment: Why Choosing Yourself Is Worth It

Welcome back to Healing Our Relationships. I’m Marisa, Healer & Transformation Guide, In this episode, I want to go deeper than just naming patterns of codependency. Because self-abandonment comes at a cost — and until we see that cost clearly, we stay trapped in cycles of survival instead of living the life we’re here to live. Today, I’m exploring the hidden toll that self-abandonment takes on us — emotionally, physically, spiritually, and in our relationships. In this episode, I’m sharing: ✨ How each emotional struggle — resentment, anxiety, numbness — reveals something sacred we’re sacrificing ✨ How our bodies become messengers when we’re not living in alignment ✨ The quiet spiritual costs of feeling disconnected from purpose, Spirit, and our own soul ✨ The relational pain of feeling unseen  ✨ A sacred inventory practice to help you gently explore where you might be leaving yourself behind and what it would mean to come home to your authenticity.  This episode isn’t about shame or blame. It’s about remembering that your life is sacred — and you are worth fighting for. If you’re ready to begin choosing yourself, even in small ways, I’d love for you to join me. ✨ New episodes drop every week. And if you’d like to explore this work more deeply in community, join me for my live Healing Our Relationships circle on Zoom on the last Thursday of every month. You’ll also find guided meditations, teachings, and resources in my HealSpace app — your sanctuary for coming home to yourself. Let’s keep walking this path together.

Why do we keep abandoning ourselves in the name of love? Why do we say yes when we mean no, swallow words that ache to be spoken, or feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy — even at the cost of our own peace? Healing Our Relationships is a podcast for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in the patterns of codependency and wondered if there’s another way. I’m Marisa — healer, transformation guide, and someone who’s walked my own long road from self-abandonment to self-trust. In this space, I come as a teacher, guide, and fellow traveler. Together, we’ll explore: What codependency really is — beyond the clinical definitions and clichés How these patterns begin in childhood and live in our nervous systems How to start the healing journey with compassion rather than shame Tools for grounding, boundaries, and somatic awareness Practices for reconnecting to your body, your truth, and your spirit The intersection of spirituality and emotional healing How to move from survival into real connection — first with yourself, and then with others This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a space to breathe, reflect, and remember who you are beneath the patterns that once kept you safe. Alongside these episodes, I also hold a monthly Healing Our Relationships circle live on Zoom — a place for community, sharing, and deeper healing. You’ll find details and more resources on my HealSpace app, where I share guided meditations, teachings, and sacred tools to support your journey. If you’re ready to understand why you do what you do — and how to come home to yourself — I invite you to join me. Together, we’ll explore how to move from codependency to freedom, wholeness, and true connection. Subscribe and let’s begin.
