How We Give our Power Away in Relationships Without Even Realizing It (and how to STOP doing this!)
Have you ever found yourself shrinking in a relationship? Saying yes when you meant no? Or staying silent just to keep the peace—even when it costs you?
You’re not alone.
So many of us, especially women, unknowingly give our power away in love. Whether it’s through codependency, people-pleasing, or staying in relationships that slowly chip away at our self-worth, these patterns can leave us feeling lost and disconnected from who we really are.
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Megan Walrod — writer, women’s empowerment coach, and founder of Live Your Yes. Together, we pull back the curtain on what it really means to reclaim your power in relationships and come back home to yourself.
We explore:
*How to recognize when you’ve given up your agency
*What codependency actually looks like (and how to break the cycle)
*Why boundaries are essential for peace — and how to set them without guilt
*How to begin healing after betrayal and rebuild your sense of worth
Whether you’ve struggled with saying no, experienced heartbreak, or are simply ready to feel stronger and more aligned in your relationships, this episode offers the clarity, courage, and self-love you’ve been looking for.
