Project Loving Myself
by Sanaiyah Gurnamal and The Pod Network Entertainment
The podcast that brings you back to yourself through real self-love. Not the curated version. The kind you practice when you're heartbroken. In conflict. On the edge of change. When choosing yourself feels terrifying — or selfish. This is for the high-achieving woman who has been giving everything to everyone — afraid of being too much, or never quite enough — and is only just realising she's been last on her own list for far too long. You've built an impressive life. You show up for everyone who needs you. But somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. And now you wonder why love, in all its forms, still feels just out of reach. Each episode brings real conversations, honest tools, and practices to help you build the most important relationship of your life: the one with yourself. Because you are the love you've been looking for — and how you love yourself shapes every other relationship in your life. Hosted by Sanai

ABOUT THIS SHOW
The podcast that brings you back to yourself through real self-love.
Not the curated version. The kind you practice when you're heartbroken. In conflict. On the edge of change. When choosing yourself feels terrifying — or selfish.
This is for the high-achieving woman who has been giving everything to everyone — afraid of being too much, or never quite enough — and is only just realising she's been last on her own list for far too long.
You've built an impressive life. You show up for everyone who needs you. But somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. And now you wonder why love, in all its forms, still feels just out of reach.
Each episode brings real conversations, honest tools, and practices to help you build the most important relationship of your life: the one with yourself. Because you are the love you've been looking for — and how you love yourself shapes every other relationship in your life.
