Welcome to "Self Love Now," a heartfelt and joyous podcast where Simon explores the transformative power of self-love with his close friends and fellow travelers who became co-authors of the book SELF LOVE NOW. In this special episode, Simon sits down with his dear friend Bridget who in fact, was one of the first guests on his original show 'Simon On The Sofa' back in 2011.

Simon and Bridget delve into their favorite topic: self-love. They share personal insights and stories, highlighting why self-love is crucial for a fulfilling life. Bridget is part of the exciting book project, "Self Love Now," a collaborative work where 54 authors contributed their unique perspectives on the question; Why is self-love important for humanity?

Together, Simon and Bridget explore the facets of self-love, discussing what it means to them and how it has shaped their lives. Their conversation is a beautiful blend of wisdom, warmth, and joy, offering listeners both inspiration and practical insights into the profound journey of self-acceptance and love.

During a ‘Sharing Circle’ Simon invited a spontaneous question; “Why is Self Love so important today?”. He was profoundly moved by the answers of those in the circle, so much so that over time that movement continued to birth an idea of a book of diversely selected co-creators expressing their individual answers to the same broad and important universal question.

The Critical Need For Both Female & Male-bodied Beings To Step Into A More Empowered State Of being & Honor The Wisdom Of The Cosmic Mother.

Our conversation delves into the essence of the divine feminine and the importance of bringing balance and harmony to the polarities of yin and yang, masculine and feminine. We discuss the critical need for both female and male-bodied beings to step into a more empowered state of being and honor the wisdom of the Cosmic Mother.

We navigate through the challenges and realizations of our spiritual paths, the significance of our connection to the creative force that birthed all life, and the need for inner harmony reflective in our outer world. Yasmin shares her insights from the book "The Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth," tracing human culture's deep roots in worshipping the Cosmic Mother and living in harmony with nature's cycles.

Our dialogue touches on the societal disconnection from these cycles, the undervaluing of the feminine, and the need for collective grief and healing. We explore the role of men in supporting and protecting the feminine, the importance of listening to the wisdom of the menstrual cycle, and the transformative power of circles in maintaining the rhythm of our communities.

Join us in this thought-provoking and heartfelt conversation as we seek to reconnect with the Cosmic Mother, honor the cycles of life, and create circles of trust and wisdom. Let’s keep this inquiry alive and weave it into our daily lives, fostering a deeper understanding and reverence for the divine feminine within and around us. More from Yasmin and Sanya Malta
