Being "easy to be around" is often praised. But for many of us, it's not a personality trait. It's a survival strategy. In this episode, I talk about the quiet, socially acceptable ways self-abandonment shows up in everyday life, how it slowly drains your energy and clarity, and why guilt appears when you start choosing yourself. This is not about fixing yourself. It's about naming what's been happening. If you're tired of putting yourself last to keep the peace, this conversation is for you. If you want to keep exploring this work in a real, human way, The Done Era is where these conversations continue.
