You know those days where a bunch of little things go wrong and it all just culminates over the span of a few hours and it seems like the world is against us? Let’s dive into how you can show yourself self-care and self-love on the tough days, because those are the days it matters most.

In this episode, I interviewed poet Női Lélek about her self-love journey after experiencing assault. we talked about healing from that, finding love for yourself, reclaiming what is yours, speaking up, and so much more.

Do you even have to love yourself? Do you have to look in the mirror and think that you're beautiful? Should our ultimate goal be to love ourselves? In the latest episode of small steps to self-love, I talked about the concept of self-love vs self-like vs self-acceptance, comparison, and more.

It can be really hard not to lose yourself in a relationship. We're building this deep relationship with someone over a long period of time and when that relationship comes to an end it's hard not to feel like a piece of you went with that other person. We're spending all of our time with someone or focused on their happiness and prioritizing their happiness, and that can be a wonderful thing, but it can also mean deprioritizing ourselves. And that’s exactly what I talked about in the 3rd episode of small steps to self-love!

Self-doubt is something that so many of us struggle with. That good old voice in our head that makes us feel like we aren’t good enough. Being at war with ourselves. The back and forth, the insults we tell ourselves, the way that we can beat ourselves up over little mistakes, little flaws and insecurities. If you feel like you are at war with yourself, you are not alone.
