The Nancy Levin Show E243: People-Pleasing, Self-Abandonment and 3 Ways to Heal Your Connection
Feeling numb doesn't mean something is wrong with you – it means something important has been missing. If you're doing everything right on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside, this episode is for you. Emotional numbness often hides beneath productivity, people-pleasing, and constant motion, quietly pulling you away from your truth without you even realizing it.
I explore why numbness isn't a failure but a survival strategy – a response to years of self-abandonment, over-responsibility, and living from obligation instead of desire. When your life hasn't made space for your truth, disconnection becomes the way you cope.
I then share three simple, grounded tools to help you gently interrupt autopilot and restore connection with yourself. This is about coming home – without force, without shame, and without needing to change everything all at once.
What we explore:
- Why emotional numbness often looks like productivity
- How people-pleasing quietly disconnects you from your desires
- The cost of living on autopilot
- Three simple tools to restore connection and self-trust
- How to move from avoidance into aligned, honest action
- Why your desires are signals – not problems
If this conversation is stirring something inside you and you're ready to reconnect with the part of you that's been dormant, I invite you to join my free five-day experience,
