200. Healing Abandonment Wounds, Raising Self-Worth, & the Rebirth of Building a New Identity | The Sensitive & Soulful Show

In this episode, Alissa explores the raw, emotional process of moving through self-abandonment and into a fuller, more authentic sense of self-worth.

Speaking candidly from her car post-Pilates (in true real-life mom mode), Alissa reflects on her personal journey and what she’s seeing come up for her clients, especially highly sensitive people (HSPs) navigating the discomfort of change.

She unpacks the emotional layers of guilt, fear of rejection, and identity shifts that emerge when we stop people-pleasing and start living in alignment. From regulating your nervous system to honoring your light, this episode is a loving call back to self.

You’ll learn:

• What self-abandonment looks like in everyday life (and how to spot it)
• Why choosing yourself can trigger deep guilt—and how to move through it
• How HSPs can navigate the fear of judgment or rejection
• Tools for regulating your nervous system in moments of discomfort
• Why shifting your identity is often a painful—but necessary—rebirth
• The surprising connection between self-worth and chronic health issues
• How dimming your light to avoid triggering others is actually abandoning yourself
• Ways to reclaim internal validation and shed the “good girl” identity
• How to manage the emotional backlash from setting boundaries with family
• The empowering message behind Alissa’s trio of transformational courses
