Love is the most powerful force in the universe. In this minisode, I'm talking about why I love Valentine's Day, and how learning to love ourselves not only brings us greater peace and confidence, but it's actually at the heart of building strong and healthy communities.

Here's that quote about love from Brené Brown that I mentioned:

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honour the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get, it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal and the withholding of affection damages the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare”.
