Be inspired to start building a more meaningful relationship with yourself so that you can be and receive the kind of healthy love that you and we all deserve. Kelly speaks with fellow minimalist and international best-selling author, Humble The Poet, to discuss insights from his book, How To Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way to a Better Life. The common theme that flows through all of Humble’s works is ‘let go and gain more,’ and in How To Be Love(d) he opens up about letting go of his unhealthy addiction to the approval of others to achieve love. You will be encouraged to reflect on your own love behaviors and let go of lessons from your past that may be causing you to seek love in healthy ways. You will learn that love is not found, but rather realized, and that when we love ourselves, love will be easier. humblethepoet.com Follow Humble on Instagram Attachment Theory Explained
