You Can't Shame Your Way into Loving Yourself

We say self-love like a mantra. But do we embody acceptance? Do we extend compassion inward? Maybe that’s why so many of us are still searching...Not for love, but for OUR love.

It’s still Mental Health Awareness Month, so I thought we’d chat about self-image. Scary, I know. Today we explore the quiet war between self-criticism and self-love, and what I had to really do in order to finally feel a sense of TRUE love for myself. In this episode, I unpack why shame isn't a sustainable motivator, and how true healing begins with gentleness and acceptance.

Let’s talk about it.
