Is it really selfish to love yourself first? And why do we expect others to love us when we don't want to love ourselves first? This is one debate that I tackle joyously on today's episode. For so long, I felt it was wrong to love myself first. This is why I denied myself from loving and validating myself, while desperately seeking love and validation from others. But the truth is we cannot give others what we don't have. We cannot give others from an empty tank, and expect others to give us from their full tanks. On this episode, I dive deep into why loving yourself isn't selfish, how self love transforms lives and what it really means to be self absorbed.

This episode is perfect for anyone feeling depleted and is finally ready to start living life to the fullest.

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God ~ Leo Buscaglia.

Have you ever looked at a talented and gifted person, and wondered if you had any talents and gifts as well? If so, you are definitely not alone.

The problem is that many of us are so focused on what other people have that we fail to realize the abundance in the talent(s) that we have. This is why I absolutely the “Parable of the Talents”. As one of my favorite stories from the bible, I find myself time and time again reflecting and learning so many lessons from this parable.

On today’s episode, I go in-depth about all the lessons the "Parable of the Talents" teaches us about life; and what you lose if you don't use your talents and gifts. For example:

- What happens if you don’t use your talents and gifts

- Why comparison distracts us from our purpose in life

- Why it’s never about what you have, but about what you do with what you have

- How investing in your talents and gifts benefits everyone

- And so much more…

Today’s episode is for any one searching for his/her purpose life, and would love to discover and use his/her talents/gifts.
