Loved Without Losing Yourself A podcast for high-achieving women who are done abandoning themselves.

The Quiet Moment You Realize You’ve Lost Yourself

Penelope Magoulianiti Season 1 Episode 2

There’s a moment that doesn’t come with a breakdown or a big decision.
 It arrives quietly, in the middle of an ordinary day.

In this episode, we explore the subtle moment when you realise you’ve been living on autopilot. Still functioning, still showing up, but no longer fully present in your own life.

We talk about:

  • How women slowly lose themselves without noticing
  • Why this disconnection isn’t a failure, but awareness
  • The emotional cost of constantly adapting, giving, and holding everything together
  • What begins to shift when you stop normalising disconnection

This episode isn’t here to push you into action. It’s an invitation to honesty.

If you’ve ever felt capable and accomplished, yet quietly distant from yourself, this conversation will feel familiar.

The next step—if and when you’re ready—is in the show notes.

If this episode resonated with you, don’t rush past it.

This podcast is part of a deeper body of work supporting women who are capable, accomplished, and emotionally exhausted from overgiving.

If you’d like to explore what this work looks like in a more personal way, you’ll find the next step below.
