You can grow up loved—and still feel unwanted.In today’s solo episode, we explore a subtle yet powerful truth: being loved doesn’t always translate to being wanted.Even in homes where love was present, many of us grew up with unmet emotional needs—carrying the quiet belief that we were too much, a burden, or invisible. That imprint doesn’t just live in our minds—it lives in our bodies. And it shapes how we experience intimacy, desire, and emotional connection in adulthood.This episode offers compassion and clarity for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, exhausted, or like love still leaves them hollow. If you’ve ever wondered why “I love you” sometimes doesn’t land… this conversation is for you.💛 What We Explore:<ul><li>Why being loved doesn’t always mean you felt wanted</li><li>Subtle childhood experiences that create long-term patterns of feeling unseen or burdensome</li><li>How trauma, neglect, or stress in early life shape your nervous system’s ability to receive love</li><li>The difference between being needed, being loved, and being truly wanted</li><li>Why many high-functioning women feel emotionally depleted despite "doing everything right"</li><li>What it means to teach your body how to feel wanted—safely and fully</li><li>Rewiring through self-attunement, not self-blame</li></ul>🌿 If you ever felt like:<ul><li>You were the easy child and didn’t get attention</li><li>You had to earn your worth or hold back your emotions</li><li>Your needs were too big, too messy, or too much</li><li>People say they love you, but it still doesn’t feel like enough</li><li>You're desired for what you do, not who you are...this episode might help something finally click.</li></ul>🌸 Upcoming In-Person Opportunity:I’m offering a small, in-person 4-month group for 4 women in San Diego.This is about gently, safely teaching your nervous system what it means to feel wanted—not just needed or loved.You’re allowed to feel wanted.You’re allowed to be chosen.And it’s not something you have to earn.To learn more, visit: <a href="https://www.somashift.org" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.somashift.org</a>📩 Stay Connected:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/somashift" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@somashift</a>Website: <a href="https://www.somashift.org" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.somashift.org</a>🎧 Love this episode?<ul><li>Leave a review or 5-star rating</li><li>Share with a friend who’s doing all the work but still feels unseen</li><li>Screenshot and tag me with your favorite takeaway on IGYour shares make a huge difference in spreading these nuanced conversations.</li></ul>
