Don't Lose Your Identity in the Name of Love

04/24/25 • 28 min

Too many of us have sacrificed our voice, values, and vision just to feel loved or stay connected. But real love doesn't demand that you disappear.
We talk about how trauma, codependency, and people-pleasing patterns can blur the line between love and self-loss — and how healing means learning to show up whole, not half.
You’ll learn how to:
Spot the warning signs of self-abandonment in relationships
Set boundaries without guilt
Rebuild your identity after losing yourself
Love others without betraying yourself

If you’ve ever felt like you gave too much just to be loved — this episode is for you.
It’s time to stop calling it love when it costs you, you.

In this episode of Sick & Tired LLC, we dive into the powerful tool of “Acting As If” — not faking it, but faithing it. This principle isn't about pretending or putting on a mask. It’s about stepping into the mindset, behavior, and identity of the person you’re becoming — even before you fully believe it yourself.

We explore how "Acting As If" can help shift old thought patterns, build confidence, and align your daily actions with your recovery goals and spiritual growth. Whether you're early in recovery or working to become more connected to your inner Divine, this episode offers practical insight into becoming who you were always meant to be.

Looking at Self: The Battle No One Talks About

Send us a text

In this powerful episode, Calvin and I take a raw and honest look at the inner battle that often goes unnoticed—the struggle to face ourselves. This isn’t about the external fights we show the world, but the private war within: the self-doubt, shame, unhealed wounds, and the fear of truly seeing who we are.

We explore why so many avoid the mirror and how healing begins when we stop running from ourselves. If you've ever felt like you're your own worst enemy, this conversation will meet you right where you are—and guide you toward the courage to confront, accept, and grow.
Are you ready to look at yourself?
