Self Love Ignited with Katie Allen

Self love is the goal, but this path is a journey. Love is the ultimate emotion that we all want to feel as much as possible, but it's not the only one. 

You can't have a full conversation about love without also talking about how to handle emotions like pain, fear, anger, or frustration. Let's chat about why it's wise to process your emotions, and how you can begin to do this in a way that feels safe.

Through a simple exercise, you can create a safe space for yourself to feel the emotions of life, honour and empower your whole human experience, and show yourself more love.

This practice has been deeply transformative for me on a personal level, and I hope you find it helpful as well.

Talking self acceptance and self love with a Jewish girl who grew up in the deep south of the United States is enlightening and shines a light on the story of self love that many can relate to.

Dana also shares her unique philosophy about education and why self acceptance, self love, and truly knowing and embracing who you are is at the center of helping future generations thrive in a whole new way.

Last year was one hell of a year. For many, it was full of unprecedented ups and downs, myself included.

As the first episode of 2022, I wanted to do a recap of my biggest personal self love lessons of 2021!

It's kind of like a year in review, but through a lens of self love.

My hope is that through telling this story and sharing these insights, you will receive wisdom and support in dealing with your own ups and downs.

I also share the one word I've chosen to embody in 2022 and why it feels so powerful to me.

Time and time again, I've seen the power of storytelling in uniting us, connecting us as individuals, and creating shifts. Let's shift the old and welcome a new year!

The whole concept of self love is often misunderstood, and as a result can be offputting or even triggering.

It's time to simplify things just a little bit.

In this solo episode, we're breaking down self love and talking about what it is, what it isn't, as well as first steps you can take on this journey. This episode will help you see self love through a new, more empowering lens and give you a gentle push toward creating a more loving, kind, compassionate relationship with yourself starting today.

This gets to be simple, it gets to be easy, and it gets to feel good.

Let's take off the sharp edges, remove the overwhelm, and explain self love right.

Being the angry Mom who had zero energy and felt like crap in her body was not the kind of life Melissa desired.

After a lifetime of loathing who she was and being embarassed of what she looked like, motherhood was the thing that sparked a change in Melissa's apprach to her wellbeing. She overhauled her body image, health, overall emotional state, and shifted into all of this with self love. Now she is full of energy and vitality, her mental health has never been better, and she is showing up for her family and in her life in a way she can be proud of.

Melissa Rohlfs is a certified holistic health and life coach helping busy women break free from sugar and stress/emotional eating so they can be calm, confident and in control. Around food. Around sugar. In stressful situations. In their bodies. In their life. She is committed to empowering women to break free from dieting, emotional eating and self-image issues so they can ditch the diet mentality, and feel empowered in their own skin.

After her own tumultuous history with food {withholding and then later in life, bingeing}, she learned how to deal with the core issues around her broken relationship with food. As a result, she felt called to go to school and learn to teach other women how to do the same. She graduated from the Health Coach Institute as a Holistic Health and Life Coach in 2018 and is the proud owner of Free 2 B Coaching. She is a proud Boilermaker alumna living in Arizona with her husband, Chad and two kiddos.

Wrapping yourself and your life in love is one of the most transformational things you can do.

Todays guest, Diana Gremillion ("GREH-mee-yawn”), shares her unique story about how she completely changed her life by doing just this!

We talk body image, cultural norms, burnout, overcoming health challenges, and saying yes to growth based on self love.

Diana has advised billion-dollar deals for Fortune 500 companies, and cooked Michelin-starred meals for former US President Obama. But when burnout forced her to give up her life as a chef, Diana transformed her health crisis into a new life adventure.

As an international speaker, author, coach, and healer, Diana is now living her dream life in Honolulu, Hawaii. She has been featured on the "Inspire You & Me" TV show and shared the stage with Hugh Hilton, Mary Morrissey, Jillian Michaels, and Dr. Phil.

Diana is passionate about helping business owners manifest their dream life and business in months not decades

"Can't I just lose weight to feel better in my body and about myself??"

I can't tell you the number of times I've been asked this question, and my answer might not be what you expect.

My goal and intention of this podcast is to help you love and accept yourself and your body more and more. To quiet the inner critic. To be less judgmental. To be more kind and compassionate with yourself.

Can weight loss fit into this equation? Should it?

In this episode I answer that question, plus I give you eight practical, tangible practices you can start today to start shifting toward self acceptance, compassion, and treating yourself with more kindness.

Bodies change with pregnancy, but when you've got a complicated relationship with your body to begin with, this can bring it to a whole other level.

Kate Whorlow joins me to talk about her changing body image, how she learned to embrace her body and her tiger stripes through motherhood, and how she now finds herself at a place where she truly loves the woman she is, no matter what.

This didn't come easy, and didn't happen overnight, but for herself and her children, it was well worth it.

Kate Whorlow has been a Natural Healing Practitioner and Spiritual Wellbeing Coach since 1998, specialising in herbal medicine, aromatherapy and intuitive healing. Kate has been living with a chronic illness since 1994 and credits natural healing therapies for preventing her from ending up in a wheelchair or bed bound.

Kate loves to help others return to wellbeing by utilising these therapies and also spiritual healing techniques during her coaching and wellbeing sessions. Kate has her own range of organic loose leaf herbal tea blends, originally created to help with the challenges of being a parent during long school holidays. The range has been extended to help people with anxiety, chronic fatigue, digestive issues and essentially keeping the body healthy and balanced.

Above all else, Kate loves to help women find a way to put themselves first. Often we give to everyone else, believing that is our role in life, then forget to give to ourselves. Just five minutes a day for self care will give us the moment to breathe, be present in our body (grounding our energy) and recharge our physical energy, so that we feel calm, focused and ready to move forwards. 

Living in Cornwall in the far south west corner of the UK, with her husband, two teenage girls, daft Sprollie dog and elderly cat, Kate loves to make the most of the natural surroundings especially the beaches less than 20 minutes from her, as well as wildcrafting (foraging) for local herbs growing in the region.

Growing up in a family where she was the "pretty but fat" sister and constantly criticised for how she looked, todays guest struggled with her body image and self confidence from day one.

These challenges followed her to adulthood, until one day she realised they were holding her back from reaching her big dreams as a mum and a business owner.

She began the process of peeling back those layers and re-learning how to treat herself and her body with the love and respect she deserves. Recently the culmination of this work is that she was able to get a branding photo shoot done for the release of her new book and it was simply fabulous!

Day by day her relationship with her body is becoming more kind and compassionate, and that beautiful blossoming is being reflected back in how she's showing up in the world.
