This week we are talking about cultivating more self-love in the present moment for this current version of ourselves! Self-love is all about appreciating who we are, valuing and trusting ourselves, and loving ourselves despite our flaws, struggles, and mistakes. We will chat about the benefits of self-love, what self-love looks like in action, and go through some questions that will help us get to know our current selves in a deeper way. I will see you in the episode!!

Wishing you zest and light (and love!!),
