To love yourself, you must know yourself. That means witnessing is often the first step towards self love. But so many of us don’t realize we are taking on the role of “judge” instead of “witness”. What would it be like to pay attention, without judging? Especially in those times where we are struggling to cope, and engaging in habits we wouldn’t like to have witnessed by anyone we know. In this episode, Danette shares a personal experience from her own life – how self love helped her through it, and how it can help you too.
