What If You Don’t Have to Love Yourself First? (Ep #31 Relationship Series)

Have a question or topic you'd like discussed? Click here to send a text or leave a voice memo! What if loving yourself isn’t where you have to start?We hear a lot about self-love and self-care, but having a supportive relationship with yourself is about more than loving every part of who you are or taking a day off for a little self-care.In this episode, we’re exploring what it actually means when I say you are the foundation of every relationship in your life and what that looks like in real life.We’ll talk about the difference between self-love, self-care, and actually caring for yourself, including the choices that don’t always feel comfortable: setting boundaries, asking for help, listening to your body, allowing yourself to have needs, telling yourself the truth, and making decisions that support the life you want to create.We’ll also explore why caring about yourself doesn’t mean other people stop mattering, what can happen when the people around you have benefited from you putting their needs before your own, and how the relationship you build with yourself can influence every other relationship in your life.And maybe self-love isn’t something you have to achieve before you can begin.Maybe self-trust, self-respect, and even self-love grow through the way you learn to listen to yourself, support yourself, and show up for yourself over time.✨This week’s practice ✨When something comes up, pause and ask yourself:What would supporting myself look like here?Not what would keep everyone else happy.Not necessarily what would make you feel better immediately.What would actually support you?Support the show💌 Want more Pure Possibilities in your week?
