Alignment, Authenticity, & the Cost of Self-Abandonment w/Joanna Adarna (PART 1)
Thu Feb 05 2026
In Part One of this Mindful & Aware pod, I’m joined by self-love and confidence coach Joanna Adarna to talk about what self-love actually means — beyond aesthetics, myths, or external approval.
We break down how to stop abandoning yourself in relationships, friendships, and everyday decisions, and how to stay loyal to yourself even when you’re dating or navigating connections with others. We chat about choosing alignment over people-pleasing and why self-love is about self-trust, boundaries, and conscious choices — not perfection.
In this episode:
What self-love is (and isn’t)
Letting go of external validation
Staying aligned with your values and energy
Why self-trust changes everything
Choosing yourself without guilt
In Part Two, we go deeper into dating, friendships, boundaries, communication, and living consciously.
