Stop Abandoning YOURSELF for Love with Junie Moon

Junie Moon talks about what happens when you finally get honest about the ways you’ve been abandoning yourself in the name of love....

Saying yes when your gut screams no...
....walking on eggshells to keep the peace
....trying to earn your worth through being chosen.

Junie doesn’t hold back anything.

She shares what it was like to leave a 20-year marriage, only to fall into the same painful patterns in a different relationship…

...until one sleepless night changed everything.

That was her line in the sand moment - the one where she chose herself. 

Since then, she’s built a life and career anchored in radical self-love, deep healing, and helping other women do the same.

This isn’t just about relationships, though. It’s about learning to trust yourself again. To notice when you’ve started dimming your light. To stop performing for love and start choosing it - with honesty, with boundaries, with softness and strength.

You’ll hear us talk about:
 – Why “healthy selfish” is the most loving thing you can practice
 – How shadow work helps you uncover what’s really going on underneath the surface
– What changes when you stop abandoning yourself and start getting honest
– The difference between settling and choosing peace
– And how midlife isn’t a decline - it’s a doorway

You’re not too old.
You’re not too late.
You’re not broken.

You’re just ready for more.
