Why do so many of us silence our needs, shrink ourselves, or lose our identity in order to keep love, peace, or belonging?

In this deeply honest episode of The Human Story hosted by Yoked media, Lincoln and Shaamiela explore the hidden pattern of self-abandonment the quiet ways we disconnect from ourselves to feel accepted, safe, or chosen.

Together, they unpack how childhood experiences, attachment wounds, people pleasing, and fear of rejection can shape the way we show up in relationships, work, family life.

This conversation explores:

• How self-abandonment begins in childhood
• Why people pleasing often leads to resentment
• The link between trauma, attachment, and identity
• How relationships can trigger old wounds
• Rebuilding self-trust and learning to choose yourself
• Healing through truth, faith, and emotional honesty

If you’ve ever felt unseen, overextended, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that leave you empty this episode is for you.

Sometimes healing begins the moment we stop leaving ourselves behind.💛

In the first episode of The Human Story for the year, brought to you by Yoked Media, we step into a new year shaped by uncertainty, division, and longing, this episode invites us to pause, feel, and remember. Lincoln & Shaamiela are joined by a guest co-host Gila Sowter an occupational therapist, breathwork practitioner, yin yoga teacher, and deep listener of the human experience.

Through honest reflection, shared stories, silence, and presence, we speak about community, embodiment, grief, love, faith, and the quiet courage of choosing kindness in difficult times. This is not a conversation about having answers but about learning to sit with the questions, together.

A grounding, soulful beginning to the year.
A reminder that you matter.
