In this powerful episode of The Frequency of Courage, host Megan Imbert explores the often-invisible patterns of self-abandonment and the revolutionary act of choosing yourself. With her signature blend of vulnerability, truth-telling, and embodied wisdom, Megan dives deep into what it means to reclaim your worth, honor your truth, and live in alignment — especially in a culture that conditions women to perform, please, and self-sacrifice.
From navigating people-pleasing and emotional suppression to the physical toll of self-neglect on women’s health, Megan shares personal insights, somatic tools, and heartfelt reminders for anyone ready to stop outsourcing their worth and start coming home to themselves.
Whether you’ve ever struggled with burnout, codependency, over-giving, or staying too long in unaligned relationships or jobs — this episode is your permission slip to choose yourself first.
