In a world that teaches us to chase love, validation, and approval from everyone but ourselves—what happens when we flip the script?

In this episode, we're talking all things self-love—the kind that's rooted in science, self-compassion, and real inner safety. We unpack the lies we've been fed about what it means to love yourself (spoiler: it's not cringe, it's revolutionary), how society polices confidence, and why self-love is often misunderstood as bubble baths and skincare.

You'll walk away with a powerful new lens on:

• Why seeking external validation is the norm—but not the vibe

• The difference between self-care and true self-love

• How to rewire your relationship with your inner critic

• The science behind self-compassion and its wild impact on your brain and body

• Tangible tools to shift from self-critical to self-kind

And if no one's told you lately: You're allowed to love the hell out of yourself. Loudly. Proudly. Unapologetically.
