Peace Without Truth Isn’t Peace: Why Self-Abandonment Has to Stop

In this episode of the Awaken With Love and Rise With Joy podcast, I’m diving into a powerful and deeply personal topic: what it really means to stand in your truth — especially when it’s uncomfortable.

As I declared 2025 my year of Illumination, I never expected the biggest breakthroughs would come from enforcing boundaries and refusing to abandon myself for the comfort of others. In this episode, I share some of the raw, real, and transformative insights I’ve gained about peace, truth, manipulation, and emotional sovereignty.

If you’ve ever:

• Silenced your voice to keep the peace


• Felt emotionally responsible for other people’s reactions


• Been guilted or shamed for standing in your integrity


• Or questioned whether enforcing your boundaries would “make things worse”...

...then this episode is for you.

I’ll guide you through my lived experience — from distortion and deflection to clarity and self-honouring — and offer a new lens on what it means to walk away from self-abandonment and back into personal power.
