About this episode

Tobia James discusses the impact of abandonment wounds on self-worth and relationships, offering a path to healing through self-acceptance.

In this powerful episode, Tobia James explores the hidden cost of “pick me” culture and the fear of abandonment that leads so many people to shrink themselves, silence their needs, and chase validation. Through a blend of psychology, history, and scripture, the conversation reveals how abandonment wounds shape attachment, relationships, and self-worth and why healing begins when you stop abandoning yourself. This episode offers a clear path forward: name your abandonment story, grieve honestly, reparent yourself, set standards, stop auditioning for love, and root your identity in something deeper than external approval. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, rejection, or feeling chosen by everyone except yourself, this conversation is a reminder that you are not too much, not too broken, and never meant to beg for love. The healing starts with one decision: choose yourself. To connect with Gloria: https://linktr.ee/theunfilteredbygade
