Are you your own harshest critic? Do you struggle to see your own strengths and true beauty? In this heartfelt episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite us on a journey to see ourselves through the eyes of love rather than criticism. Too often, we are our own harshest judges, focusing on flaws and imperfections instead of honoring the truth of our wholeness. This episode explores how societal pressures and inner doubt distort our self-image, and how we can shift that perspective by embracing self-kindness and cultivating a loving relationship with ourselves. We’ll explore how shifting your focus—from the flaws you perceive to the strengths you possess—can fundamentally change your reality. Together, we uncover how our beliefs shape our reality and how the simple act of reframing our inner dialogue can open the door to transformation. With warmth and wisdom, Lisa and Michael share how choosing to focus on strengths instead of shortcomings empowers us to break free from conditioning, rewrite limiting patterns, and awaken to our authentic selves. This conversation is a gentle reminder that practicing self-love is more than personal healing — it is a pathway to greater joy, acceptance, and deeper connection with others. When we learn to see ourselves as whole and perfect, just as love sees us, we unlock the freedom to live fully, radiantly, and in alignment with the truth of who we are.  “When we find the love in everything and think and act from it, and our whole life will change.” ~ Lisa LeRose If you find value in this conversation, please share this episode with a friend who may also benefit from the journey of self-discovery.
