#59 The Dark Side of Self-Love No One Talks About
from Redefining Love with Tara Portelli · host Tara Portelli
Have you ever had a moment where you realized the life you were living didn't fully match the person you knew you were meant to be? A moment when you could see the subtle ways you were giving away your energy, compromising your boundaries, or accepting less than you deserved while telling yourself you were simply being kind, open, or compassionate? In this episode, we explore the often painful awakening that comes when we begin to see where we are not truly honouring, valuing, or respecting ourselves. Through a deeply personal story of reflection, self-discovery, and transformation, I share how recognizing the gap between who I was being and who I envisioned myself becoming became the catalyst for profound change. This conversation is an invitation to look at how you're showing up in the world, who you're allowing into your life, and whether your actions, relationships, and energy align with the future version of yourself. Because sometimes the greatest act of self-love is having the courage to see where you've been out of alignment and choosing to step fully into your own worth.
