In this 5-minute bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele unpacks the psychology behind breadcrumbing—the subtle yet painful dynamic where someone gives you just enough attention to keep you hooked, but never enough to truly connect. Learn the red flags, the emotional toll, and the neuroscience that makes it feel so addictive. Most importantly, discover practical tools to name it, break free from it, and protect your self-worth. If you’ve been surviving on crumbs, this episode is your reminder: you deserve the whole meal. 💛
