Sometimes it feels like social media says you should always be happy, and that showing your sadness is a sign of weakness. Ciara Rose and I disagree. You're allowed to change your mind, to take a break or leave a situation you don't feel comfortable in. You are also allowed to not be okay. This episode is for those who are struggling with mental illness and/or grief, dealing with this pressure to always seem happy.

There is a common misconception that confidence is something you either have or you don’t. But confidence isn’t something you’re born with; it’s something you build through adversity or as I like to call it A Tower Moment. Imran Rai is back and ready to empower women about self-confidence in a social media-driven society. She shows us the light you see in her which is shining right within you. This episode is about self-assurance to reassure you in however it is needed.

It’s the oldest story we know: "One day you're single, living your best life. But then you meet someone… and you end up losing yourself in them.”  We Self Love Loungers are good at prioritizing ourselves when it's just us. But then life comes along and steals the spotlight that we are too free to give. So, just like many of us, Marie Stella lost so much during the pandemic and found her purpose in the chaos of life and now the spotlight.

Sometimes we may pretend to be somebody else and somehow we forget who we truly are.  Now, when we do start dating or experience heartbreak, we may minimize ourselves for the convenience of others. Nadia Jagessar who runs her own event management company named Euphoria, and who's become a fan favourite throughout the first season of Netflix's newest reality dating series "Indian Matchmaking," and I talk about the importance of taking up space and never settling for anything less than what we know we truly deserve.

Burnouts happen to all of us especially when we avoid being human for too long. We try to do everything all at once which is great but impossible. Stress takes a toll on our bodies, our friendships, our relationships, and our general happiness. So if you do not pick a day to just relax and just be, then Marinna and I will pick it for you in this episode.

It is so hard to say goodbye—until you actually commit to it. Sometimes you have to allow yourself to break down so you can build yourself back up. This episode is a reminder to let you know that you can't start a new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one that no longer serves you. If this resonates within your heart then this episode is for you. 

It’s the ability to understand emotions, thoughts and feelings within yourself and others for me. We are all aware of the inner-critic. The inner-critic is our worst self, it speaks from a place of fear we inherited from an external force. This episode reminds us that self-love at its core is free; it doesn't cost a thing, just your time and your commitment. Self-educate with us so you can self empower yourself!  

 Everyone has lost sleep, by overthinking about their past, their present and even their future as if they could rewrite it all over again. Most of us are very hard on ourselves and still learning to forgive ourselves each night and re-committing each morning as part of a self-care practice. If you want to fall in love with taking care of yourself, then this episode is a hug from me to you.
