49. The Most Important Relationship You’ll Ever Have


Listen Later

February is the month of L-O-V-E but this episode isn’t about Valentine’s plans or dating advice (though it might help with those too!)

It’s about the relationship that comes first, above all others: the one you have with yourself.

In this episode, I talk about why self-love isn’t just a buzzword or a personality trait; it’s a necessary foundation for every relationship in your life, and for going after the life you want. From self-talk and confidence to boundaries, standards, and enjoying your own company, we unpack what self-love actually looks like in real life and how you can develop it.

I share my belief that self-love is essential for healthy relationships- not meaning that you have to be perfectly healed from past experiences/traumas, but in the everyday ways it shapes how we show up, what we tolerate, and what we believe we deserve.

We’ll talk about:

  • How your self-talk shapes your confidence and choices

  • Why low self-esteem affects relationships- with others and with yourself

  • Learning to enjoy your own company and build a life you love

  • Letting go of comparison and control

  • How to start developing self-trust, self-respect, and confidence

p.s. stay till the end for bloopers!
