Does the idea of self-love make you cringe? Do you catch yourself thinking, "I'll love myself when I've earned it" or "I need to be perfect to matter"?

In this episode, I share my personal journey with self-love — why it's so hard for people pleasers, why unconditional self-love is a game-changer, and how dropping the shoulds can help you finally honor yourself.

I also share practical tips you can start using today, including:

• Practicing self-compassion

• Affirming yourself daily

• Setting small boundaries

• Celebrating wins, big or small

• Checking your yes before giving it away

If you've been waiting to feel worthy of your own care, this episode is for you. It's time to stop living for everyone else's expectations and start living as the you you were meant to be.
