Unapologetic Self-Love with Betty Jean Bell

What does self-love look like for you? This is a notion I’ve been exploring this year. If you think about it, it almost sounds self-indulgent. But, the truth is, it’s the core of happiness. How you talk to yourself, the boundaries you draw, how you spend your time, energy, and money all affect your view of yourself. It’s about knowing when to say no, and looking after your needs before tending to others. This is the most important type of love you’ll ever experience in your life. In this episode, I talk with Betty Jean Bell, who has embarked on a 20-year long self-healing journey to overcome depression, loss of purpose, weight gain, and so much more. In other words, she’s no stranger to self-love or badassery. Throughout our conversation, we cover the importance of self-love, what it looks like, and what rituals work for Betty Jean. Tune in to learn how to be just a little bit kinder to yourself and embark on your own journey of self-healing. Betty Jean’s Happiness Hack: “Making ourselves a priority isn't a narcissistic behavior.
