In this special two-part series, I’m sharing a powerful course I developed on learning how to love yourself. If you’ve ever struggled with self-acceptance, carried feelings of shame, or felt like you had to keep achieving to prove your worth — this episode is for you. 

I'll share my personal journey from deep shame and self-loathing to learning how to love myself, and how you can start healing your relationship with yourself.

In this first part of the course we'll cover:

  • What Self-Love is
  • Why self-love is NOT selfish or narcissistic
  • How trauma, shame, and perfectionism block self-love
  • What happens when self-love is blocked.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The truth about why self-love feels so hard
  • How shame drives the need to achieve (and why it never works)
  • Why perfectionism and people-pleasing are self-sabotaging
  • How to start healing your relationship with yourself today
