In a previous Love Note, I mentioned that in order to say yes to self-love, sometime that means we need to say no to others.   But sometimes we have to say "no" to ourselves too.    Let me explain...   Far too often, we can be our own worst bosses,...

Hi Beautiful Soul, I hope you've been taking great care of yourself.   In today's Love Note, I wanted to bring up the topic of self-sacrifice and bring some awareness around where self-sacrificing tendencies may stem from.    It's an important because...

I was wondering, do you ever find it difficult to allow yourself to receive from others?   Personally, if someone asked me this question a handful of years ago, I would have definitely been nodding my head in agreement.   Whether someone wants to give us a...

Hellooooo Beautiful Soul!   In this week's Love Note, I wanted to bring up another one of those incredibly persistent, yet widely accepted self-love saboteurs: needing external validation or approval.   Sometimes after we make a decision or take action, we...

Today I wanted to talk about an important aspect of self-love, and that's self-forgiveness...forgiving ourselves for our past mistakes.   It's like a vital piece of the self-love puzzle that we sometimes overlook.   Forgiving yourself can be incredibly...

When you think of the concept of "I Love Me More", how do you picture it in your head?   I would like to invite you to imagine that you are looking at your reflection in the mirror.   You (the person standing in front of the mirror) are in a relationship...

I felt compelled to piggy back onto last week's Love Note...when I wrote to you about unconscious social conditioning being one of the saboteurs of self-love.   It's one of those topics that really needs a whole book to unravel how this deeply-embedded social...
