Speaking of Tea...

The great season of love, Valentine’s Day!

In this episode I meet with the lovely Marcela, MC MamaBird of the Empowered Soul podcast to talk about self-love in the context of Valentine’s Day. As they say, “You must love others before you love yourself.”

But Valentines is often when we choose to externalize our love: to impress or show gratitude for a lover. Great romantic expressions, dates, gifts, chocolate, roses. Often self-love is mostly in the context of being single during this time. What if we practiced self-love as well?

From a spiritual, zodiac influenced, and grounded nature, Rachelle and Marcela elaborate on new perspectives about Valentines and all expressions of love. We share written pieces from her blog and my own piece “Queer Self Love” to give more depth to this conversation.

Also, what does it mean that Valentine’s Day is during Aquarius season?

Marcela has a lovely presence and voice that you will simply fall in love with.
