Carmen explores the powerful journey of embracing authenticity over performance and confronts the psychological concept of self-abandonment. She shares personal stories about moments when she realized she was performing a palatable version of herself rather than showing up authentically.
• Reflecting on moments of performance versus authenticity in social situations
• Examining a date where Carmen realized she was presenting a digestible version of herself
• Understanding self-abandonment as disconnecting from your truth to maintain connections with others
• Recognizing how women, especially women of color, are taught that being agreeable is survival
• Exploring the emotional costs of self-abandonment: resentment, burnout, and identity confusion
• Learning to stay present with yourself by asking if what you're saying is true or just safe
• Journal prompt: When was the last time you betrayed yourself to be chosen, approved, or understood?
• Reminder that your wholeness is not too much and your depth isn't a problem to solve
