We spend decades seeking validation from others while neglecting the most important relationship we’ll ever have — the one with ourselves. In today’s episode, Brad Clifford shared his journey from collegiate athlete to wellness entrepreneur that revealed something profound. After a near-death experience with a serious infection, he faced two devastating losses — his physical identity and the external validation he’d built his life around. But this crisis became his greatest teacher. Self-love isn’t selfish, it’s the foundation for everything meaningful in your life. What would change if you gave yourself permission to truly love who you are today?
