Healing the Fixer Pattern and the Pain of Self-Abandonment

Have you ever poured your heart into someone only to realize you were the only one truly present? This episode isn’t about a breakup. It’s about the pattern underneath it. The pattern of performing care, translating silence, and calling it love.

In this reflection, I speak to the one who became the mirror…
Not to reflect her truth, but to reflect someone else’s pain.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why you stay in relationships that don’t meet you
• The grief that comes with releasing the version of you who made herself small
• The identity of “the fixer” and how to lovingly let her rest
• A somatic practice to honor the part of you who tried to hold it all together

This is a sacred pause for the one who’s ready to stop performing healing…
and start receiving it.

Three days to grieve a lifetime of love? That’s not grace. That’s deprivation.
In this episode, I explore the emotional and cultural weight of bereavement and why so many of us are never given the time, space, or presence required to truly heal.

If you’d like to watch the full experience, including the visual energy and breath practice, visit my channel here:

Grief isn’t just emotional… it’s relational. And too often, we are told to move on, return to normal, and “be strong” while carrying a loss that can’t be fixed in three days.

This reflection is for anyone who is navigating grief, presence, or ego death. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in identity, or the soft, unseen losses of everyday life, this space honours the depth of what you’re feeling.

Have you ever caught yourself whispering, “I’m not enough”, not out loud, but somewhere deep beneath the surface of your life?

You may not always say it, but you feel it in the way you hesitate to speak your truth… in the way you overextend, overperform, or quietly pull away. It’s not just a thought. It’s a belief. One that was born in a moment when you needed love, presence, and safety… and didn’t receive it.

In today’s episode, we explore the wound beneath the words. You’ll learn why “not enough” isn’t a flaw in who you are, but a reflection of what wasn’t met. And more importantly, you’ll be invited back to yourself. Not to fix. But to feel. And to remember.

This episode includes a gentle breath practice to support you in meeting the places within that still feel tender, unseen, or alone.

If you’re ready to stop chasing enoughness and start living from the wholeness that’s already yours, this conversation is for you.

This is an invitation.
To return. To presence. To love. To you.

If this episode spoke to something tender within you, I’d love to hear how it landed. You can leave a review, comment below, share it with someone who may need it, or simply take a breath and let it be part of your own unfolding.

What if change isn’t something to fear, control, or avoid, but something meant to season you?

In this episode, I explore how we move through life’s transitions without losing ourselves in the process. From impermanence to ego, from somatic resistance to embodied remembrance, this reflection invites you to pause, feel, and return to the truth beneath the noise.

We’ll explore:

• The difference between being aged and being seasoned
• Why ego resists change (and how it distorts your experience of life)
• How the nervous system holds your truth—even when the mind doesn’t
• Why desire and pleasure-seeking often mask unhealed fear
• What it means to truly let go… without losing yourself in the process

Includes a guided somatic pause to help you reconnect with your body and your breath, so you can witness what’s rising without fixing or fleeing.

If you’re navigating grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, or spiritual growth, this episode is a grounding companion for your path.

But beneath it all, there’s a deeper seat…
The seat of consciousness. The soul. The one who sees.

In this deeply reflective episode, I explore the original meaning of asana from yoga philosophy, not as a posture, but as a seat of awareness, and how it points to the state of mind we inhabit in daily life. You’ll be guided through the inner shift from ego to human to soul, and learn why discomfort isn’t something to escape… but something to stay with.

We explore:

• What it really means to “take your seat”
• How ego uses discomfort to keep you looping
• Why your soul never bypasses your humanness
• The truth about transcendence, manipulation, and healing
• A guided seat-shifting practice to return to presence

If you’ve been overthinking, looping in self-doubt, or mistaking discomfort for misalignment, this is a reflection to help you come home to your body, your breath, and your truth.

Take your seat. Follow the thread. Return to what’s always been here.

Let me know in the comments:

What seat have you been sitting in lately?

What if nothing is missing? What if your healing doesn’t require more effort, but more presence?

In this episode, Veronica invites you to explore what it means to let go of striving, soften the grip of ego, and return to the rhythm that already lives within you. Inspired by a phrase once heard in an Alan Watts lecture—“the world as just so”—this reflection weaves yogic psychology, nervous system wisdom, and embodied awareness into a gentle reminder:

Together, we explore:

• The illusion of control and how ego distorts presence
• Why true clarity comes not from thinking, but from inner knowing
• How nature reminds us to trust our timing, rhythm, and unfolding
• A somatic pause to anchor in the breath and feel what is… just so

This episode is an offering of rest, reclamation, and remembrance… for anyone feeling the weight of becoming, and longing to come home.

Forgiveness, when it is real, is not about fixing the past but about freeing the present.

In today’s episode, we slow down and explore what forgiveness really means. Not a performance, not a duty, and not something we do for others, but a sacred return to self.

We’ll explore:

• Why true forgiveness cannot be forced
• How compassion creates the foundation for healing
• The deeper meaning of forgiveness as surrender
• Why feeling your full truth must come before release

You'll also be guided through breath invitations and a closing practice to reconnect with your inner wholeness.

If you’re tired of trying to perform your healing, if you’re ready to return to the truth of who you are, this episode is for you.

What if the reason you keep needing reminders… is because you haven’t fully remembered?

In this episode, we explore the unseen cost of mental loops, the residue of unprocessed experiences, and the difference between being reminded and remembering.

Here you'll find a spacious somatic pause and a process you can return to anytime you're caught in a loop. So, if you can, take a moment to slow down. Set your space…

If you’re tired of knowing what to do but never fully feeling the shift, this is your invitation to return. To soften. To remember.
