What if the reason “self-love” feels awkward, forced, or hollow isn’t because you’re doing it wrong, but because it was never meant to work that way?

In this episode, I'm sharing why I think so many women intelligently resist the idea of self-love, especially those who grew up in high-control or shame-based environments.

Instead of trying to make your personality love your personality, what if the deeper healing comes from letting yourself be loved by Love itself?

Press play to hear:

  • Why Valentine’s Day often reinforces a narrow and painful definition of love
  • How “self-love” can feel cringey when it turns into forced self-appreciation
  • A reframe on self-love that doesn’t require fixing, proving, or performing
  • Why women are wired to receive Love through connection and community
  • How the practice of Letters from Love can help you receive compassion instead of correction


How we can walk together:

  • Join the next women's circle, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letters from Love⁠⁠⁠, Feb 18-27.
