Self-love isn’t always sweet or soft. It’s not always affirmations and skincare routines. Sometimes it’s ugly crying at 2am after finally saying no to something that’s been draining your soul. Sometimes it’s standing in the aftermath of your own mistakes and choosing to forgive yourself anyway.In this episode of Firemouth Anonymous, we’re burning down the fluffy Instagram version of self-love and getting real about what it actually takes.

We talk about the kind of boundaries that don’t just protect your energy—they redefine your worth. We unpack how radical self-forgiveness can untangle shame that’s been sitting in your chest for years. And we explore the raw, sometimes painful process of learning to show up for yourself even when it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, or unfamiliar.This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about finally loving the person you already are—especially the parts you were taught to hide, shrink, or silence.If you’ve ever struggled with choosing yourself without guilt... this episode is your permission slip.
