🎙️NEW EPI🎙️ Have you ever realized you were shrinking your needs just to keep the peace? 👀

This convo was SO rich & made me pause & reflect!!

In this episode, Therapist Lia Mancao alyssamariewellness explains the concept of self-abandonment when we minimize what we want or need just to keep someone in our lives.
Lia also shares how leaving your values behind is often the clearest signal that something deeper is happening.

Her work focuses on helping people understand how childhood experiences shape relationships, boundaries, and emotional patterns.
