August 25, 2022#117 | I Just Want to Love Myself
Send us Fan Mail
Loving yourself can be one of the hardest yet most important things you’ll ever do. For various reasons, many of us find it easier to love others than to love ourselves. We subject ourselves to a harsh inner critic, unhealthy relationships, toxic substances, and self-mutilation because it’s easier to dwell on your own perceived inadequacies. In this episode, we talk all about loving yourself and how you can start. It’s time to start caring for yourself and treating yourself with the same love that you give to others.
