You know, mom as a personality trait, the Pinterest-perfect lifestyle, and the endless #MomLife posts on social media. But why do we feel this judgement? In this episode, I'm digging deep to unpack the discomfort with embracing that full on 'mom' identity and what that really looks like.

WellishDay 8: Overcome the Opinions of OthersI believe that the opinions of other people play a really big role in our ability to love ourselves. A big reason for that being that we are constantly given these ideas of what's right and wrong like we discussed in episode 6 and that is how we determine whether or not we're worthy of our own self love. On this episode I discuss the three areas we typically internalize people's opinions (family, friends, and significant others), why that is and how to begin to put their opinions lower on the totem pole than our own opinion. If you are...2024-02-0816 min
WellishDay 7: How to Validate YourselfOne of the biggest and most important lessons in my personal self love journey was learning how to validate myself internally and not needing to rely on external results in order to feel genuine validity.

This episode is meant to inspire ideas of how you can validate yourself in your own way through tips of how I have learned to validate myself in several circumstances throughout my life naturally and authentically. I discuss the steps that I...2024-02-0720 min

WellishDay 4: Acceptance & SurrenderI promise this episode will not be butterflies and rainbows and telling you how you just need to accept who you are as you are. I understand more than anyone else that you want to continue to become a better version of yourself.

We need acceptance and surrender in order to authentically love ourselves. We will not authentically love ourselves when we reach this image we have created in our head. Listen to...2024-02-0412 min

WellishDay 2: Why Did You Stop Loving Yourself?Did we love ourselves as children and then as life began to pile on we stopped loving ourselves? Or did we have to learn what self love is all along? The only emotion we have known the entire time we were conceived is love. But when we only have known love to show up for us from an outside source compared to cultivating it from within us it's a pretty hefty expectation to have that just happen compared to us having to take action to make that happen. Most of the time when we realize we need to work...2024-02-0211 min
WellishDay 1: What is Self Love?To kick off the 28 Days of Self Love I felt it was important to take a step back and actually take the time to understand WHAT self love is. Because self love is such a highly discussed topic we assume we know the true meaning of self love. Especially because at face value it sounds pretty digestable. Self love is loving oneself. But to actually begin to attain true self love you have to understand it at a deeper more specific level. When we fully understand what self love is instead of just focusing on how to do it...2024-02-0119 minWellishControl Your Emotions Instead of Letting Them Control YouOn this weeks solo episode Sarah describes metacognition and how understanding how to develop the skill of metacognition will skyrocket your ability to become the best version of yourself.
