The focus of this episode is a poem, Love After Love, by Derrick Walcott. This poem is all about shaking hands with yourself and becoming a supportive friend to yourself.

You can't truly love others unless you genuinely love yourself, says Ela. So, the journey starts with you. You can be kind and inspiring to others when you treat yourself in the same way.

At the end of the episode, Ela will leave you with a question, which will have you discover what a great friend you could be to yourself.
