Is It You or Them? Decoding Ghosting, Breadcrumbing, and Benching

The Love Lies & Life Lessons Podcast

Episode Description:

Feeling confused, hurt, or erased by modern dating? You're not alone. In this deeply compassionate and empowering episode, Ronda dives into the silent epidemics of ghosting, breadcrumbing, and benching—and why they hurt so much more than a simple rejection.

We go beyond just naming these behaviors to truly understand the psychology behind them: Why do people ghost? What drives someone to breadcrumb? Is benching a form of control? More importantly, we tackle the real aftermath: how these experiences can shatter your self-esteem, trigger old wounds, and create cycles of chasing unavailable partners.

This isn't just a discussion; it's a pathway to healing. Including a powerful listener story about the ache of being erased and a raw, personal confession from Ronda herself, this episode provides:

• A Clear Framework for understanding these emotional injuries.

• Practical, actionable steps to reclaim your power and rebuild your self-worth.

• A Guided Visualization to anchor your healing and step into wholeness.

• Sacred Affirmations to rewrite the script and attract the love you truly deserve.

If you’re tired of accepting crumbs and are ready to believe that you deserve the entire feast, this episode is your invitation to heal. Let's move from pain to power, together.
