Welcome to the very first episode of The Self-Love Path. In this vulnerable debut, I share my journey from childhood anxiety and eating disorder recovery to spiritual awakening, motherhood during a pandemic, and discovering my calling as a certified Self-Love Coach. Together, we’ll explore what self-love truly means—not just surface-level self-care, but deep shadow work involving forgiveness, self-awareness, and choosing yourself again and again. I’ll share the seven foundational elements of self-love, debunk common misconceptions, and close with a poem from my collection, “My Roots Grow Strong.” This is your invitation to bloom.
