Shownotes

We hear all the time that self-love is important, but what does that actually mean? And why is it so hard to practice? After leading a four-day workshop on self-love, I wanted to bring some of the biggest takeaways here—why we resist self-love, how to recognize where we are in our relationship with ourselves, and what real self-love actually looks like in practice. If you’ve ever felt like self-love is too self-involved, too indulgent, or that you need to “fix” yourself before you can love who you are, tune in now. Because self-love isn’t about becoming someone different—it’s about seeing yourself clearly, shifting the way you speak to yourself, and finally feeling at home with who you already are.
