Being on Your Own Side: Choosing Yourself Gently

Self-love gets talked about a lot — and somehow still ends up feeling like another thing to get right.

In this episode of Soul Medicine, Dawn explores a more livable version of loving yourself. Not the mirror-pep-talk kind. Not the “feel amazing about yourself at all times” kind. But the kind that stays, makes room for imperfection, and doesn’t turn your life into a constant improvement project.

This is a reflection for anyone who’s tired of self-criticism disguised as motivation, and curious about what it might look like to simply be on their own side.

You don’t have to like yourself every day.
 You don’t have to earn kindness.
 You just have to stop abandoning yourself.
