Episode: Finding Your Power Through Self-Love with Natasha McCrea

Guest: Natasha McCrea, Founder of Love CEO Institute

Natasha McCrea is a coach, speaker, actress, and author from Los Angeles who describes herself as "a creative lover of life." After being married and divorced twice by age 30, she discovered she was a love addict and embarked on a transformative therapy journey that changed everything.

Key Topics Discussed

From Love Addiction to Love Intelligence

• Natasha's evolution from love addict to founder of Love CEO Institute
• Her one-woman show became unexpected group therapy, inspiring her coaching career
• The concept of "Love Intelligence" - treating yourself with the same importance as business commitments

Transformation Has No Age Limit

• Had to completely redefine her self-care blueprint for a masculine-energy business environment
• Now available in Total Wine California stores and 46 states online

Practical Self-Care Strategies

1. The 2-Hour Block: Schedule two hours for absolutely nothing - just being, not doing
2. Detox from Yes: Take one week to practice saying "no" without explanation
3. Joy Brainstorm: Set a timer and list everything that brings you joy (even if you have to remember childhood)

The Cup and Saucer Philosophy

"Fill your cup until it overflows. Everyone else gets what's in the saucer - not from your cup." Your family and friends deserve the overflow of a fulfilled you, not the dregs of depletion.

Powerful Insights

• "You are the blueprint of how people treat you"
• Self-care blueprints must evolve as life changes - what worked six years ago may not work today
• We're built to regenerate - it's in our DNA to continue growing and evolving
• Fear itself is the real enemy, not failure
