Why You Keep Losing Your Voice in Relationships (It Started in Childhood)


You've been silenced. Maybe not all at once. Maybe it happened so slowly you didn't even notice.


But somewhere along the way - in childhood, middle school hallways, high school drama, toxic relationships - you lost your voice.


And here's what no one tells you: The toxic relationships you're in as an adult have EVERYTHING to do with what you learned as a little girl.


The people-pleasing. The staying quiet. Making yourself small. The ignoring of your needs.


It all started before you even met him.


In this video, I'm breaking down:

The connection between your inner little girl and your current patterns
