Ep 201: Three myths of self-love

Self-love: does it feel familiar or foreign? Honestly, it felt like a complete and utter myth to me for the longest time. I would hear the words and think ‘yeah, yeah, that sounds nice, but also: impossible.’ Now? I realise that the myths are the mistaken ideas we hold about what self-love really is, not self-love itself.So, in this episode, I’m talking about three myths that might be getting in the way of having a loving relationship with yourself. In this episode you’ll hear: Why loving feelings are not a prerequisite for self-loveWhy self-love can be the best foundation for challenging yourselfWhy trying to earn your own love is backwards.The content I share on this platform is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
