Let’s talk about LOVE! However, I don’t want to talk about romantic love because that’s the one that gets the most attention and, it’s certainly not the only love out there. Today, we’re focusing self-love and asking ourselves and our listeners to stop and pause and come up with a list of attributes that they love about themselves. It’s hard. But worth every second. I hope it’ll inspire you and make you see things in yourself you didn’t know were there. Sending love to all of our fabulous listeners! ❤️🥰

Some people consider their own qualities, and those of other people, to be innate and unchangeable. It is fairly obvious that people vary in character and personality, and some of these variations might have a genetic and chemical basis. Today, Heather and Mary Catherine discuss with their listeners, the traits that they feel others admire about them. This is a difficult question for most of us to answer about ourselves, so it sometimes helps to elicit the perspectives of those that are closest to us. After listening to this episode, ask yourself (or others) the same question, but also ask yourself what traits you’d like to cultivate. We are all capable of becoming better people, possessing highly admirable qualities.
