You promise yourself Monday you are going to do all the things. Then Monday comes and you are already renegotiating. If you keep starting over, this one is for you.

When you break promises to yourself over and over, you slowly stop believing yourself. This is not a discipline problem. It is a self trust problem. In this episode we get into why the plan was probably too big for the life you are actually living, and how to rebuild trust with yourself by keeping the small promises. Plus your one promise, seven days challenge.

Loving yourself when your body changes is one of the hardest things a woman quietly carries, and today we are having the real conversation about it. If you have looked in the mirror lately and not recognized yourself, this one is for you.

Your body changes because life changes. Motherhood, aging, hormones, stress, losing weight, gaining weight. And most of us believe that if we could just get our old body back, we would finally feel like ourselves again. In this episode we challenge that, because a lot of the time you do not miss your old body. You miss the life you had when you had it.

We get into loving your body while still having goals for it, the difference between self care and self punishment, grieving the old version of you, and why your body is not your business card and not your worth.

Shakeisha walks us through an embodiment practice you can do right along with us, and we leave you with one simple challenge for the week.

You do not have to hate the woman you are right now to become the next version of her. You get to love her while you are becoming her.

You keep telling yourself you'll start when you feel ready. When you have more time. When the kids are older. When things finally calm down. Here is the hard truth we get into today. That ready feeling might never come, and you can start anyway.

In this episode we talk about why waiting to feel ready keeps so many women stuck for years, how confidence actually gets built after you take the step and not before, and the scary reason we sometimes protect ourselves from success and not just from failure. Teresa shares where she still catches herself waiting, Shakeisha breaks down the difference between intentional waiting and avoidance, and we close with an embodiment moment and one small challenge you can actually do this week.

We are not talking to you from some finish line. We are still becoming her right beside you.

Setting boundaries sounds great right up until you actually have to set one. Then it means disappointing someone you love, saying no for once, or finally deciding that a thing you have put up with for years is not okay anymore.

In this episode we get into why boundaries feel so uncomfortable, and why setting them is honestly one of the biggest acts of self love there is. Teresa shares the first real boundary that scared her, protecting her time to build her business as a single mom when nobody took it seriously and everybody guilted her for being "too busy." Shakeisha shares the one she learned the hard way after her surgery, and the single question that changed everything: does this deserve access to me today?

We talk about why a boundary feels like you are becoming a different person, why healthy people adjust while unhealthy patterns resist, and the reframe that boundaries are not walls, they are doors. Plus a quick embodiment moment so your body can show you where you already need one, your mirror moment, and this week's becoming her challenge.

Why do you self sabotage right when life finally starts to get good? That is exactly what we are getting into in this episode of Self Love Chats.

Have you ever noticed that the second things start going your way, a healthy relationship, your business finally growing, a little bit of peace, you somehow find a way to pull back from it? You procrastinate, you overthink, you pick a fight, or you quietly convince yourself it is too good to be true. That is self sabotage, and in this episode Teresa and Shakeisha get honest about why it loves to show up right when you start to succeed.

We talk about why self sabotage is not laziness and not a discipline problem, it is protection. If you have spent years in survival mode, your nervous system learned that unpredictable was normal, so peace, success, and even healthy love can start to feel unfamiliar, and your brain does not know the difference between unfamiliar and dangerous. We get into the fear that hides behind your intuition, why a big number can feel so scary, and the real reason you self sabotage, which is that part of you is not yet convinced you get to keep the good thing.

Shakeisha also walks you through a simple embodiment practice to teach your body that it is safe to receive, and we leave you with one small Becoming Her challenge for the week.

Nobody warns you that becoming a new woman means grieving the old one. When you hear the word grief you think somebody died or a relationship ended. But there is a quieter grief almost nobody talks about, and that is grieving the version of yourself you have outgrown.

In this episode, Teresa and Shakeisha get honest about the part of personal growth no one prepares you for. The people pleaser who kept you safe. The woman who overworked so she never got let down. The one who carried everything alone so she never had to need anybody. Those women got you here, and letting them go, even when you chose it, does not always feel good on the way through.

We talk about why so many women start growing and then quietly pull themselves back, why growth feels lonely before it feels freeing, and how to thank the old you without asking her to run your life anymore.

This week's Becoming Her challenge is to write a letter to the version of yourself you are leaving behind. Thank her for what she carried, forgive her for what she did not know yet, and celebrate her for getting you this far. Then write one line at the bottom welcoming the woman you are becoming.

Today's truth: you do not have to become someone else to become her. She was under there the whole time, waiting for you to put down everything that was covering her.

Next week we get into why you self-sabotage right when life finally gets good.

You'll never feel ready. And in this episode we're telling you why that is actually good news.

If you're the woman who has the idea, maybe even bought the course or the domain, and you're still waiting to start, waiting to launch, waiting to post the thing, this one is for you. We were her too.

Teresa opens up about her start and stop cycle, launching thing after thing, making a little money on each one, and never letting a single thing grow up because going all in felt too scary. Shakeisha shares how she kept saying "I can't" when what she really meant was "I'm scared." And together we get into the truth nobody told us. Confidence does not come first. It comes after you take the action. You do not wait to feel ready. You become her by doing the scared thing over and over until your body finally believes it.

We talk about perfectionism and how it usually sounds responsible but is really just fear, why self trust gets built by keeping tiny promises to yourself, and the one small action you can take this week to start feeling like her.

If you have been waiting to feel ready, let this be your sign.

Next week we're going somewhere tender. Becoming her means grieving the old you.

Being the strong friend feels like a compliment until you realize you're the one who never gets held. In this episode we're talking about the woman everybody leans on. The one who always has it handled, who never asks for anything, who carries it all and calls it strength. We've both been her, and we're saying the quiet part out loud: being strong doesn't mean carrying everything alone. Receiving support doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. And self love isn't only what you pour out, it's what you let yourself receive.

We get honest about what being the strong friend is actually costing you, whether that's your peace, your rest, or the connection you're secretly craving. We even get into our own struggle with staying consistent in our business, and how having one person who checks in on you changes everything. Then we leave you with one small challenge: ask for help one time this week. Just once.

If you don't have that person in your corner, that's exactly why we built the free Becoming Her community. We'll be the friend who reaches out and asks if you're okay.

This week's reflection: what is being the strong friend costing you?

When you hear poverty mindset you probably think broke. It is not that.

This week we get into the poverty mindset, and it has almost nothing to do with your bank account. It is scarcity. And once you see it, you see it everywhere. In your relationships. In your confidence. In your dreams. In whether you actually let the people around you support you.

Teresa is still learning this one in real time too. She was driving home from a custody pickup studying it the whole way there and back. So this is not us preaching from a stage. It is two friends working it out out loud.

We get into the scarcity statements women say without even noticing (I can't afford that, I don't have enough time, that's not for people like me), why fear is really just false evidence appearing real, and the thing almost nobody admits: we are not scared of failing. We are scared of becoming the woman we have been praying to be.

Sit with this one after you listen. Where in your life are you settling because you believe there is not enough?
