This is another episode per request. Though it’s a topic that’s often discussed…it’s still just as relevant and necessary.
And let’s be straight: Self love isn’t always about massages and candlelit baths. Sometimes it’s about tough love. Digging in and doing shadow work. Calling yourself on your bullshit. Identifying and eliminating your toxic habits. As with everything in life, balance is crucial and boundaries aren’t just to apply to other people. They’re not just interpersonal - they should be intrapersonal as well.
I talk about how self love looks like:
Recognizing and releasing toxicity - yours and others’
Connecting to yourself
Honoring your basic needs: emotional, physical, mental
Communicating directly and authentically, and letting others do the same (without overanalyzing and assuming people hate you/are mad at you)
Apologizing only for things within your control
Setting boundaries
Asking for what you want/need
Daring to say yes, and daring to say no
Feeling and navigating your emotions
Releasing what you can’t control, and prioritizing what you can
Treating yourself and others with grace and kindness
I hope you find value in this. And I hope you love yourself. Because I sure as hell do.
