In this episode of Be Unrealistic, I’m getting real about something that keeps so many of us stuck - self-abandonment.

This month has been deeply transformational for me, especially after participating in the 14-Day Reset with Cathy Heller. What I thought would be a mindset refresh turned into a full-on reset of my identity, my nervous system, and honestly… my entire brain.

If you’ve ever:

1. Started strong and fizzled out by February
2. Talked yourself out of dreams that mattered
3. Chosen what’s “practical” over what feels true
4. Felt stuck even though you want more

This episode is for you.

We talk about the subtle, socially acceptable ways we abandon ourselves every day - and how those patterns keep us small, hesitant, and disconnected from the lives we actually want.

More importantly, I walk you through practical, doable ways to interrupt self-abandonment and start choosing yourself again — without pressure, perfection, or hustle.

1. Why motivation isn’t the problem — identity is
2. How self-abandonment actually shows up in daily life
3. The moment to watch for when you’re about to talk yourself out of what you want
4. Why action (not confidence) creates momentum
5. How community and energetic alignment change everything
6. What shifted for me during the 14-Day Reset
7. Why completion and follow-through are acts of self-trust

✨ This Abundant Life — a daily energetic reset and community centered around alignment, abundance, and possibility

✨ DONE — a 90-day embodiment and completion experience starting in February, designed to help you follow through and stop starting over

Your desires aren’t random.

They’re not selfish.

They’re not unrealistic.

They’re invitations.

And every time you ignore them, you abandon yourself.

Every time you choose them — even in small ways — you come home.
