What if the reason self-love feels so hard isn’t because you’re broken—but because you were taught to earn love, not give it to yourself?

In this episode of Hard Truths, we dive deep into the mindset shifts, emotional wiring, and daily practices that make real self-love possible—especially when you don’t feel worthy yet.

This isn’t toxic positivity or surface-level affirmations. This is about learning how to re-parent your nervous system, rewrite your internal scripts, and build the kind of relationship with yourself that doesn’t collapse the second you mess up.

🧠 Inside this episode:

• Why self-love is foundational—not a reward for perfection
  

• How societal conditioning wires us to chase worth instead of embody it
  

• The science of self-compassion, cortisol, and identity formation
  

• A step-by-step breakdown of how to acknowledge your worth without achievement
  

• Real, relatable examples of how to treat yourself with respect through movement, food, boundaries, and mindfulness
  

• A challenge to take action this week—and stop outsourcing your value
  

You don’t become more worthy by fixing yourself. You build a better life by loving the version of you that’s already trying. Let’s build that relationship from the inside out.
