The Spilled Milk Podcast

Season 2 Ep. 7: Talk To Me Nice: Loving the Person in the Mirror


Listen Later

This episode of The Spilled Milk Podcast is going to push you into a place of real reflection. Lala takes us on a soul-stirring journey through the landscape of self-love, inviting each of us to peel back the layers and embrace radical acceptance. She reminds us that loving ourselves starts with owning the parts of our story that we’ve been afraid to acknowledge—the pain, the mistakes, the beauty. All of it. And through that acceptance, we get to redefine what it means to be worthy.

Lala drops some heavy truths in this episode, teaching us that our worth isn’t something we hustle for or earn. It’s ours simply because we are children of GOD, breathing and living. She gives us actionable steps that show how to cultivate that kind of love, not just on the easy days but on the tough days, too. She reminds us that loving yourself is a practice, not a one-time event. Each day, we’re called to show up for ourselves with grace and gentleness.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been running on empty, this episode is for you. Learn how to create daily moments that pour back into your soul, moments where you prioritize your self-care, not out of luxury, but out of necessity. This conversation is about understanding that you deserve love, not just from others, but most importantly from yourself.
