In this episode of the Mental Max Out podcast, hosts Akeem and Amy explore the notion of love in its various forms, focusing primarily on the act of showing up for oneself as the foundational form of love. They discuss how making small, imperfect efforts towards showing up in life—be it for personal, professional, or health-related reasons—can lead to significant positive changes. The discussion includes personal anecdotes that highlight the transformative power of showing up for oneself, the importance of self-care, and how changing one's 'why' can lead to profound personal growth. The episode emphasizes that love is not just an emotion felt towards others, but a series of actions, beginning with the self, that can lead to fulfillment and success.
