Working moms often self-abandon by putting everyone else first and tying their worth to productivity. This episode explores how working moms can break the cycle of self-abandonment and step into self-ownership and self-trust.

🎉 This episode of This Is How She Does It marks a big milestone—the one-year anniversary of the podcast.

In this solo episode, Angela reflects on what this past year of podcasting has meant to her: finding her voice, stepping into visibility, and learning to stop self-abandoning in order to truly live life on her terms.

She explores the concept of self-abandonment—how it quietly shows up for so many women and moms through people-pleasing, overfunctioning, guilt, and putting everyone else first. From squeezing passion projects into fringe hours to staying silent to keep the peace, Angela names the patterns many of us live in but rarely question.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What self-abandonment really looks like in everyday life
• The difference between self-worth and self-confidence
• Honest examples of how Angela self-abandoned this past year
• Reflective questions to help you spot where you might be doing the same
• How The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz offers a simple framework for moving out of self-betrayal and back into self-trust
• Why this work isn’t just personal—but something we model for our children

This episode is a reminder that you’re not broken and that you can choose differently.
