  • 53. The Truth About Self-Love

    You may have heard that self-love and self-care is all about pampering yourself with spa days, indulging in retail therapy or going out with your girlfriends for a night out. While these activities can be enjoyable and may help you feel good in the moment, they barely scratch the surface of what self-love truly entails.

    Self-love is not just about treating yourself with material pleasures; it's about cultivating a deeper sense of compassion, empathy, and understanding towards yourself and your body. It's about acknowledging your worth and taking care of yourself in a holistic manner.

    The journey of self-love can be a challenging one. It requires self-reflection and an understanding of what truly matters to you. It also entails being kind to yourself, forgiving yourself for past mistakes, and learning to appreciate and embrace your flaws.

    Self-love involves setting healthy boundaries for yourself and those around you. Ultimately, it is a process of growth and self-discovery. It's about learning to love and accept yourself fully, and to treat yourself with the kindness and care that you deserve.

    So join us on this episode as we explore the deeper truth behind self-love, and why it's more than just a superficial concept. We hope to inspire you to embark on your own journey of self-love, and to cultivate a greater sense of compassion and understanding towards yourself and your body.

    MINDFUL ACTION & WEEKLY MANTRA: I am worthy of love. Real love. In it's purest natural form.

        • 47. Nourish Within: Mindful Eating and Listening to Our Bodies

          Explore the concept of mindful eating from an exciting different perspective than the typical "pay attention to what you're eating" mantra. I had a lot of fun chatting this week about how your food choices can vary from day to day, and how it can lead to a more positive relationship with food. We also dive deep into tuning into our bodies and working towards listening to the signals instead of letting our minds control our eating habits. We'll discuss the terminology differences between food choices and balanced diets, and how to break down old food barriers. Our meditation this week will focus on incorporating mindfulness into listening to our body queues. Join me as we experience the world of mindful eating and learn how to make the most of every bite.

          Weekly Mindful Action: Listen to your body and look out for unwritten "rules" you may be following when you eat. 

          *Note: The meditation portion of this episode will be best experienced while wearing headphones. The music accompanying the meditation this week will create an incredible atmosphere for tuning in to your body. Notice the beat of the drums when you're listening to your heart, and the eerie space when tuning into your mind. I'm confident it will create a whole new level of meditation for you. Enjoy!
