#199: The Cost of Self-Abandonment and How to Finally Choose Yourself with Yasmine Cheyenne (best of)

Because it's the end of the year, I figured we needed this one: Yasmine Cheyenne helps us walk some of our most challenging paths: self-forgiveness, people-pleasing, unhealthy relationships, and comparison.

In this revisited episode, we explore:

  • How perfectionism leads to self-abandonment

  • Setting boundaries as protection from burnout

  • How early relational dynamics shape the way we show up in the world

  • Identifying red flags in relationships

  • Breaking free of what keeps us stuck in painful cycles

  • How we lose ourselves when we make choices out of fear

  • What is really happening when we compare ourselves to others

  • Using our past as information — not a life sentence
