Self-love is frequently and mistakenly tied to selfishness, greed, or egocentrism. But the reality is that loving ourselves allows us to pour love into others from a full cup.
In this episode, I’ll guide you through moments of mindfulness and reflection to help you discover traits about your past, present, and future self. I’ll also walk you through the process of writing a love letter to yourself that can be a great tool to reach for when you’re feeling down and not your usual self.
Join me on a journey of ridding ourselves of shame, embrace self-forgiveness, and experience different levels of healing.
