The recording of this episode takes place on the anniversary of Thomas' death. For those who are new to this show, Thomas is my brother who committed suicide 5 years ago, and he is the founder of LMY. His dream of creating a clothing company called Love Makes You came to life after he passed because I decided to use it to create positive change and spread the message of mental health awareness, provide solutions and resources for those struggling with their mental health, and create a culture of vulnerability, honesty, loving acceptance and emotional safety when it comes to talking about mental health.

In this short episode I talk about self-work - inner work vs. outer work - and how both kinds of work are absolutely necessary to growing, healing, and becoming more happy, healthy, and empowered versions of ourselves!

Self-work can be uncomfortable, exhausting, and downright painful, but the payoff when we finally go deep and allow ourselves to feel from the inside out, and heal from the inside out, can be the most empowering and valuable gift we ever give ourselves. Work is not meant to be easy, nor is it made to be comfortable, but just like learning to strengthen our abs, glutes or biceps at the gym, if we can be consistent, we get stronger, and it does get easier. When we learn to take that first step into the daunting space of being with our uncomfortable emotions and expressing them in a healthy way, we can begin to strengthen our nervous systems, find emotional resilience, and learn to love and see ourselves in a whole new way. So buckle up, and enjoy this intriguing, insightful episode!
