Why You Keep Putting Yourself Last | The Self-Abandonment Pattern
You’re the dependable one. The one everybody can count on.
But have you noticed how often you’re the one who gets postponed?
Your lunch can wait. Your rest can wait. Your appointment can move.
Your plans can change. And because you know you’ll understand, your needs become the easiest ones to keep pushing to later.
In this episode of Empowered Plates, Empowered Lives, Jovonnie explores the Self-Abandonment Pattern, when being capable, responsible, and dependable can quietly turn into repeatedly putting yourself last.
And this isn’t another “just put yourself first” conversation.
We’re asking something deeper:
Who becomes negotiable when everything can’t get done?
You’ll explore why disappointing yourself can sometimes feel easier than disappointing everyone else, why you can keep postponing yourself without consciously believing everyone else matters more, and how this pattern can become especially difficult to recognize while living with persistent pelvic pain.
You’ll also get one simple question to interrupt the pattern before your next automatic yes:
“What happens to ME if I say yes to this?”
Because you can be someone people count on without constantly counting yourself out.
