Have you ever considered self-love as the backbone of your existence, not just an indulgent treat? Join me on a heartwarming journey into the world of genuine self-appreciation as we dismantle the myths that paint self-love as a selfish act. In our latest episode, we wade through the often misunderstood waters of self-love, revealing it as a crucial element for instructing others on how we deserve to be treated. With an open heart, I express my deepest thanks for this space where we can connect over life-changing topics, offering refuge for those who battle self-criticism amidst the harsh landscape of social media.

This conversation is a personal invitation to craft your own definition of self-love, one that resonates with your unique life experiences and challenges past toxic interpretations. We explore the diverse ways self-love manifests—whether through rest, play, or setting sacred boundaries—and how these acts are powerful signals to the world about your self-worth. Inspired by 1 Corinthians 13, I guide you in constructing a love blueprint while nudging you to identify where neglecting self-love might be holding you back. Whether it's affecting your productivity or health, embracing self-love can protect against exploitation and undue stress.

To wrap up, we acknowledge that self-love isn't just a fleeting trend but a fundamental practice rooted in our very being since the dawn of time. From the unnoticed acts of self-preservation like managing finances to more conspicuous ones like maintaining fitness, every choice is an affirmation of self-love. Sharing my personal book recommendations and words of encouragement, I hope to inspire you to remain steadfast in the daily act of loving yourself. This episode is your guide, a source of comfort, and a reminder that putting your well-being first is the ultimate act of kindness to yourself.

1 Corinthians 13:
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
