This morning’s minisode is completely unscripted and unedited. I followed what was alive for me in the moment, and what came through was a conversation I didn’t plan but clearly needed to have with you.
It began with something simple. A note on my to do list. A message from my son. Love yourself. And it opened into something much deeper.
I explore what self love actually means beyond the phrase we hear so often. I share honestly about where it still feels challenging, even after decades of working with Reiki and spiritual practice. I talk about how love is not always a feeling we can access on demand, and how it often lives in the moments where we choose to stay with ourselves through discomfort, fear, and resistance.
This episode moves through real life examples. Parenting. Losing patience. Showing up in community. Going to the gym when it feels intimidating. Building something as an entrepreneur. All of it becomes the practice.
Self love, for me, is starting to look less like a concept and more like a willingness to face what feels hard and stay connected to myself in the process.
In this episode, I share:
• How a simple message from my son shifted my perspective on self love
• Why self love can feel abstract even after years of spiritual practice
• My personal relationship with Reiki as a practice of unconditional love
• The connection between courage, confidence, and self love
• What it looks like to love myself in moments where I feel like I’ve fallen short
• How physical challenges like working with a trainer are becoming a new pathway for growth
• The role of discomfort, fear, and resistance in building inner strength
• My experience navigating community, vulnerability, and introversion after moving
• How to relate to negative inner dialogue without identifying with it
• Why self love is a lifelong practice and possibly the reason we are here
A note from me:
I would genuinely love to hear from you. What does self love feel like in your body and in your life. When have you experienced it most clearly. You can reach out and share with me anytime.
If you are feeling called into deeper support and want a consistent space to return to your body, your breath, and your own capacity to feel good, I offer a private 3 month container where we work together through Transformational Breathwork and Reiki.
