Self-intimacy is the foundation of healing—learning to deeply know, trust, and care for yourself.
In this episode, I share how I reclaimed my sense of self after years of self-abandonment and explore four key components of self-intimacy:
- Practicing self-forgiveness and self-compassion
- Setting boundaries to protect your well-being
- Tuning into body signals and incorporating somatic practices
- Rebuilding self-trust by showing up for yourself
Healing isn’t just about moving forward—it’s about reconnecting with who you truly are.
