Episode Description
There are environments that only value you for what they can extract from you.
They celebrate your greatness — but only when it serves them. And when there’s nothing left to harvest, nothing left to take, they walk away.
This episode is your reminder: stop settling for crumbs.
If you’re the empath.
If you’re the one who gives and gives.
If you’re the one who makes sure everyone else feels safe, understood, and comfortable — while quietly shrinking yourself to survive certain rooms…
This one is for you.
We’re talking about:
- The difference between humility and self-erasure
- Why wanting acknowledgment doesn’t make you manipulative
- Recognizing users without needing to label them narcissists
- Discernment vs. denial
- Radical acceptance (inspired by Chapter 3 of The Only Constant)
- Why constantly “armoring up” is not sustainable
- How to stop being someone’s safe option
- And how to begin setting boundaries — even when it feels terrifying
This episode will help you:
✨ See people clearly
✨ Accept reality without attaching it to your worth
✨ Stop bargaining with bad behavior
✨ Choose peace over performance
✨ Remember that you deserve more than survival
You are not asking for too much.
You are asking for reciprocity.
You are asking for respect.
You are asking to be seen.
And that is not manipulation — that is humanity.
If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs the reminder:
You deserve the whole ocean — not a drop of water.
