Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s how we show up whole. Today I’m joined by Ashley Sessions, the powerhouse behind Pampering Sessions, a self-care brand creating decadent body butters, luminous body oils, cleansing sugar scrubs, and more. We break down self-care vs. self-love, rebuilding self-trust, and how small daily practices lead to big inner shifts. Ashley also shares how her brand came to life in under a year, plus what’s coming next (hello, beard kit 👀).

In this episode

• The difference between self-care (the practice) and self-love (the foundation)
• Rebuilding self-trust so your routines actually stick
• Gentle routines that work when you’re busy and tired
• Products for women and men (yes, men love baths too!)
• Friends who lovingly “fix your crown” when it slips
• How Ashley bootstrapped packaging, labels, and her first product line
