Stop Begging Him: How to Retrain Your Ego to be a Bodyguard, Not a Beggar

Walking away isn’t always about heartbreak—it’s about self-respect. In this video, I share the truth about what it means to leave a man who will never get it. Too often, our ego tricks us into thinking we need to prove ourselves to him, when really, our power comes from letting go.This is about retraining your ego to work for you—to be your bodyguard, not your beggar. It’s about no longer chasing validation from a man who cannot see your worth, and standing firm in the truth of who you are.If you’ve ever found yourself trying to “make him see,” this message is for you. You don’t have to beg for love—you are love. 💫📖Get the book: https://amzn.to/4phcByDThe journal: https://amzn.to/3VGXS2n✨ Let’s connect:💜1:1 coaching &BONUS podcast episodes https://www.patreon.com/Ivebeenthatgirl💜books, coaching and more:https://linktr.ee/ivebeenthatgirl.netAuthors page: https://www.amazon.com/author/kindalld💜MY SOCIALS:YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ivebeenthatgirl?si=ztPs0PVePJP-q6VrI’ve Been That Girl, too Instagram: (151K followers) https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenthatgirltoo/TikTok: (42.7K Followers) https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenthatgirl?_t=8s8vdJSMVZv&_r=1Threads: (35K followers) https://www.threads.net/@ivebeenthatgirltoo?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Business Inquiries:https://linktr.ee/ivebeenthatgirl.net(Click the envelope icon at the top of the site)

As a woman who loves deeply, I had to learn the hard way that not every man deserves access to my heart. Being loving, nurturing, and emotionally available is powerful—but it also means you need to be selective about who gets to experience that version of you.Most men aren’t emotionally mature enough to handle a woman who shows up with real love, real intention, and real depth. They fumble it, misuse it, or try to dim it.This video is a reminder to protect your heart, not because you’re guarded—but because you know the value of it.💜1:1 coaching &BONUS podcast episodes https://www.patreon.com/Ivebeenthatgirl💜My books, coaching and more:https://linktr.ee/ivebeenthatgirl.net💜MY SOCIALS:I’ve Been That Girl, too Instagram: (149k followers) https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenthatgirltoo/TikTok: (37.2K Followers) https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenthatgirl?_t=8s8vdJSMVZv&_r=1Threads: (33.4K followers) https://www.threads.net/@ivebeenthatgirltoo?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Business Inquiries:https://linktr.ee/ivebeenthatgirl.net(Click the envelope icon at the top of the site)
