Sometimes the hardest choice isn’t staying, it’s leaving. And when you do, the guilt can feel unbearable. In this episode, Carina Bull from Healergy unpacks why choosing yourself isn’t selfish, how cultural conditioning keeps us stuck, and why honouring your truth can actually be the most loving act of all.


We’ll explore:

  • The hidden guilt of leaving someone who’s still hurting, and why it feels so heavy
  • How choosing yourself can be compassionate, not selfish
  • Breaking free from cultural conditioning that tells you to stay silent or small
  • Why honouring your truth is the first step to real healing

Mentioned in this episode:

  • The shame that rises when you leave before they’re “ready”
  • Why self-betrayal is more damaging than leaving
  • A powerful reframe: choosing yourself as an act of love, not abandonment
