How many times have you called it loyalty when you were really abandoning yourself?

In Episode 6 of The Empath Wound, Deborah Moffatt challenges the belief that being loyal means staying, sacrificing, forgiving endlessly, and tolerating relationships that no longer serve your emotional well-being.

From one-sided friendships and unhealthy family dynamics to the guilt that comes with setting boundaries, we're unpacking the difference between genuine loyalty and self-abandonment.

Through honest reflection, personal experiences, and the story of Renee and Carla, we'll explore why choosing yourself doesn't make you selfish, why forgiveness doesn't require unlimited access, and why history alone isn't enough to sustain a healthy relationship.

Healing Tribe, here's the question I want you to sit with: If you gave yourself the same loyalty you've given everybody else, what would you have to change?

Remember, choosing yourself doesn't always mean rejecting somebody else. Sometimes it simply means refusing to reject yourself.
