Healing from Abandonment: Janice Ho and Steve LeBlanc's Journey to Connection

It is that like I'm alone, I'm by myself, I'm only relying on myself, and it just sometimes feels, I think, a little bit more safe to just not be in connection with others too much.
Ever wondered how early life experiences shape your relationships? In this episode of The Soul's Work Podcast, Janice Ho sits down with her guest and dating partner, Steve LeBlanc, for an honest chat about the scars left by early abandonment trauma. Together, they explore how these wounds have influenced their ability to connect with others and maintain healthy relationships.
Steve shares his personal stories about growing up with parents who struggled to provide a stable emotional foundation, leading to issues like co-dependency, anxious attachment, and low self-esteem. They also discuss the 'lone wolf' identity Steve adopted to guard against the fear of rejection and abandonment. The conversation isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions. Janice and Steve talk about the importance of recognizing and rewriting the negative stories we tell ourselves.
They highlight the journey from feeling like an outsider to becoming your own best parent and guide. If you've ever felt like your past is holding you back from meaningful connections, this episode offers both empathy and practical advice. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to heal from old wounds and build healthier relationships.
