If you live in the space of being self-critical (like I have), it's really challenging to believe that other people are going to like you because you don't like you.

When you are being self-critical, it doesn't allow you to present yourself in a way that you can truly be as open and loving and inclusive and outward as you are capable of.

Being a friend to yourself not only shifts your experience of YOU, but it strengthens all your relationships, because you begin to BE a different person.

In this episode April shares her personal goal to love herself from a few years ago.

Some of the things we talk about: 

-Getting to know yourself

-Being the first to offer compassion to yourself

-Giving too much "weight" to other people's feedback (positive or negative)

-Understanding that insecurity is part of being human; it's universal

-Finding what nurtures you, and building it into your life

-Difference between being alone and feeling lonely
