#40: Why Trying to Love Yourself Isn’t Working – and What Actually Does


Why does loving yourself still feel hard — even when you’re really trying?

If affirmations, mindset work, and self-improvement haven’t helped you feel genuine self-love, there’s a reason. Especially during the holiday season, comparison with images of perfect families and harmony can trigger feelings of unworthiness and self-judgment.

In this episode, you’ll hear why self-love cannot be created through the mind, what actually shifts when awareness moves into the heart, and why true self-love becomes unconditional when you stop trying to earn it.

This episode is for you if you’re tired of working on yourself and want self-love to feel natural instead of forced.
