Welcome back to 3D Authenticity! In today’s episode, Jennifer opens up about the hidden emotional cost of people-pleasing for highly sensitive people and how unchecked empathy can quietly turn into chronic self-abandonment.

If you’ve ever sensed someone’s needs before they even said a word, if you’ve said ‘Yes’ when your whole body was whispering ‘No,’ if you’ve found yourself dimming your own preferences just to avoid rocking the boat, this episode is for you.

This heartfelt, insightful exploration uncovers what happens when HSPs and empathic people lose themselves in the name of harmony and how to begin returning to center.

In this episode, Jennifer covers:

✅ The difference between healthy empathy and self-erasing people pleasing
✅ Real-life examples of subtle self-abandonment in relationships, work, and everyday interactions
✅ How chronic accommodation erodes self-trust and worthiness
✅ Why boundaries are a radical act of empathic integrity
✅ Body-based signs you might be about to self-abandon
✅ The life-changing shifts of not taking things personally and letting others hold their emotions
