Welcome, beautiful soul, to another episode of Aligned & Manifesting.

Today’s episode is for anyone who’s ever chased love, overgiven, or tried to be “perfect” just to feel chosen- and secretly wondered, “Why does love feel unsafe for me?”

In this conversation, I share a truth that can shift everything: Sacred partnership starts with self-love.

Not the surface-level self-care kind… but the nervous-system-level self-love that creates emotional safety inside your body- so you stop abandoning yourself to be loved.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ What “sacred partnership” actually means (and why it’s built on safety, not anxiety)

✨ The real roots of abandonment fear, heartbreak imprints, and perfectionism

✨ Why self-love is emotional safety, not self-improvement

✨ How the nervous system shapes who you’re attracted to- and why “calm love” can feel unfamiliar

✨ Inner child healing for the part of you that still believes love must be earned

✨ Practical tools to stop self-abandonment and build self-trust in real time

✨ A parenting section: how to help your children grow up feeling worthy, secure, and safe to be themselves
