Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #269: Self Betrayal and Abandonment with Candyss Love
Q: And do you feel that your alcoholism was connected to the self abandonment?
Candyss links addiction to family lineage and self-abandonment, explaining how generations of addicts influenced her, and how healing involved reclaiming agency and transforming pain into growth.
Episode #269: Self Betrayal and Abandonment with Candyss Love
Q: So given the different manifestations, how would you define self-abandonment or self-betrayal?
She defines self-abandonment as sacrificing one's own needs to please others or to keep relationships intact, emphasizing that a true boundary is a firm no, rooted in self-respect and personal power.
Episode #265: Rebuilding after Betrayal and Breakups with Brittainy Noel
Q: How did you begin rebuilding your sense of self and find reciprocity in relationships?
She explains shifting from a caretaker role to asserting personal boundaries, recognizing self-worth, and allowing others to invest in her life. The turning point involved accepting help from others, embracing a new standard of reciprocity, and practicing self-compassion while pursuing personal growth.
Episode #265: Rebuilding after Betrayal and Breakups with Brittainy Noel
Q: What caused you to finally end the relationship, or did they end it first?
She describes a definitive moment when a text revealed another woman in the picture, followed by a heated confrontation and an emotional breakdown. That moment, coupled with the sense of ongoing anxiety and the realization that the relationship was eroding her sense of self, prompted the decision to exit and seek safety and support.
Episode #261: Reclaim Your Body with Alishia McCullough
Q: Can you talk some about first what disconnected you from your body to need to reclaim it?
The guest explains disconnection as ancestral, energetic, collective, and systemic, rooted in historical trauma like slavery, hair loss as a symbolic erasure of identity, and ongoing oppression. Reclaiming the body involves understanding these layers, doing shadow work, and adopting a holistic, culturally informed approach to therapy.
