You’re Not “Too Much”—You’re Just Giving Too Much of Yourself Away

If you’ve been feeling exhausted but can’t pinpoint why… it might not be your calendar. It might be the ways you’re slowly abandoning yourself.

In this solo episode, Dr. Elisha Goldstein names a quiet epidemic: leaking emotional energy through people-pleasing, self-silencing, and shrinking your voice just to stay likable.

You’ll learn how this kind of hidden self-betrayal leads to burnout, chronic stress, and a shortened health-span—and what to do instead.

In this episode, we cover:

• The three subtle ways you surrender your power
• How stress and self-abandonment accelerate aging
• A reflection to help you reclaim your voice and integrity
• Why emotional healing begins by coming home to yourself
• A practical micro-shift you can make today to stop leaking energy

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever… —Swallowed your truth to keep the peace

—Toned down your joy so others wouldn’t feel small

—Felt like your presence, voice, or needs were “too much”

You are not too much. You are worthy, as you are.

Listen now—and take your power back, 1% at a time.

In this episode of The Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with world-renowned couples therapist and author Dr. Stan Tatkin, creator of the PACT model and author of Wired for Love and In Each Other’s Care.

Stan reveals how our nervous systems are built for co-regulation, not independence, and why traditional ideas of “self-care” in relationships often fail. Instead, couples need a shared purpose, secure agreements, and a willingness to prioritize the relationship—especially under stress.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in recurring arguments, emotional distance, or frustration around connection—this conversation is a game-changer.

In this episode, we cover:

Why love isn’t enough for long-term connection

The neurobiology of attachment and co-regulation

What makes relationships spiral into self-protection

Why “secure functioning” couples thrive—and how to become one

The exact moment we lose empathy (and how to get it back)

How to prepare for conflict before it happens

The one agreement every couple needs

Why individual healing alone won’t save your relationship

If your relationship matters to you—listen to this twice.

Take notes. Reflect. And start shifting from “me vs. you” to us vs. the problem.
