How do intelligent, capable women slowly lose themselves in relationships without even noticing? In this week's Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores the subtle ways many women begin organising their lives around everyone else's needs while quietly losing touch with their own. Drawing from psychology, personal experience, and insights from accredited psychologist Faith Guchu, this episode unpacks the difference between healthy compromise and self-abandonment, why women are often socialised to disappear inside love, and how to begin finding your way back to yourself. If you've ever looked around and wondered, "When did I stop being me?" this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
Why losing yourself rarely happens overnight
The difference between healthy intimacy and enmeshment
Self-Expansion Theory and what happens when love replaces identity instead of expanding it
Why women are often praised for self-sacrifice
How to recognise when compromise has become self-abandonment
Gentle ways to begin reconnecting with yourself
