The decisions that we make in life are a true reflection of how much we love and value ourselves. In some instances, we may hesitantly make sacrifices that eventually affect our mental health. When we do this, we have to ask the question, is my sacrifice actually a result of my lack of self-worth?

These are personal questions on the Journey to Self-Love and only we can truthfully answer these intimate questions pertaining to ourselves. In this episode, we will ask & answer the hard and difficult questions regarding how we really feel about learning to love ourselves and the actions that we need to take to move forward.

Ep. 43 ~ Want to Feel Good While Sitting Alone With Yourself?

Ep. 43 ~ Want to Feel Good While Sitting Alone With Yourself?

Sitting alone with yourself is not easy for many people. It's so easy to call others in to sit beside us. And because of this, sitting alone is not for the faint at heart. Sitting alone with yourself takes courage, strength and determination. Some people go as far as to sit with people they don't even like just to avoid sitting alone with "self". In this episode, we will go beneath the surface of the "fears" of sitting alone and how to gain the confidence to overcome those fears. Don't miss out on this intimate conversation, on how to learn to sit still alone with yourself and feel good while you are doing it.

Ep. 42 ~ How to Become Your Own Best Friend

When "life" starts "life-ing" on us, we may feel that we need someone to walk us through the difficult times holding our hand. In our current climate & "culture", it may feel as though finding, authentic & genuine people that we can trust can sometimes feel overwhelming. In times we may even discover that we can't trust our own family members. So we do we do? Who can we really trust to walk along side us? Who can we count on and depend on to be there for us to walk us through challenges in life? In this episode, we will discuss the intimate details on the POWER of becoming your own best friend.

Ep. 41 ~ Knowing You Know You Have Nothing to Prove!

Ep. 41 ~ Knowing You Know You Have Nothing to Prove!

When we are not secure in who we are, often times, we feel as though we need to prove our worth to others. We may even feel that we need to go above and beyond to "show" our worth and our value to those around us. If this is you, please stop!


Friends, hear me and hear me well.....people can see you.....and some people are notorious for seeing you and intentionally not saying what they can see.


On this episode of the Journey to Self-Love Podcast, we will explore the importance of knowing who you are and understanding that you have nothing to prove to anyone other than yourself.

Ep. 40 ~ Are You Hiding Or Being Hidden.....

Ep. 40 ~ Are You Hiding Or Being Hidden.....

When something is hidden, that means that it is kept out of sight. Often times, people are hidden in plain sight. What do I mean by that? On this episode of the Journey to Self-Love podcast, we will uncover what it means to be hidden in plain sight and why it happens to so many of us. If your accomplishments, achievements and significant milestones in life are being hidden by others, then you don't want to miss this episode on learning to love yourself.

Ep.39 ~ Knowing You Deserve Better & Owning It!

Ep.39 ~ Knowing You Deserve Better & Owning It!

On the Journey to Self-Love, we may find ourselves in situations in which we don't know if we deserve better than what we have. We may question ourselves, if we are good enough and if we have the best that we deserve. Bullshit! If you are asking these questions, something is wrong and I am here to tell you without a doubt, YOU DESERVE BETTER! The reality is, do you know if you deserve better or not? Lean in and let's talk about it in an intimate conversation on the Journey to Self-Love.

Ep. 38 ~ Making Decisions to Protect Your Peace of Mind

Ep. 38 ~ Making Decisions to Protect Your Peace of Mind

On the Journey to Self-Love, you will find yourself in situations in which you need to make tough decisions to protect your peace of mind. You may need to distance yourself from a family member, get out of a toxic relationship, leave a job that you hate, or sever ties with a bad business partner. Do you love, value and respect yourself enough to make tough decisions when needed or do you "BS" around and stay put because it feels safe. The reality is that CHANGE and GROWTH are synonymous. If you want to experience growth, you can't fear change. Let's talk about it and get to the real nitty gritty of making decisions to protect your peace of mind.

"Self-Love Talk" ~ Are You Selective With Your Environment to Protect Your Value?

"Self-Love Talk" ~ Are You Selective With Your Environment to Protect Your Value?

Our environment demonstrates our value, it doesn't determine it. Our value doesn't change just because our environment changes. Being selective and protective of our environment is the best way to protect our value. Being in the wrong place or surrounded by the wrong people doesn't change or minimize your value. Knowing your value, means you have the power and ability to recognize when you are not in the right space.

"Self-Love Talk" ~ Do You Make Yourself a TOP Priority in Your Life?

"Self-Love Talk" ~ Do You Make Yourself a TOP Priority in Your Life?

When it comes to top priorities in life, are you at the top of your own list? Do you make yourself a top priority or do you allow others to decide what priority you are instead? Some people have no problem putting their needs, wants, and desires above you if it benefits them. But what about what you want, what you need and what you desire? Are you at the top of your list or do you just go with the flow even if the flow is going in the opposite direction of where you want to go? In this episode on the Journey to Self-Love, we will examine what it means to make yourself a top priority and what it will cost you if you don't. Join me for an intimate conversation and let's get into this topic and go below the surface of what number you place yourself on your list of life's priorities.

"Self-Love" Talk ~ Are You Ready to Create Your Own Standards & Expectations in Life?

"Self-Love" Talk ~ Are You Ready to Create Your Own Standards & Expectations in Life?

Are you living life by your own standards & expectations or are you allowing others to determine your measuring sticks in life for you? On the Journey to Self-Love, when you take the time to sit alone with yourself, you can discover the things that really matter to you. Only then can you place some type of value on what's truly important. No one can tell you how to set your own expectations and standards for what's acceptable to you. Setting personal standards & expectations is an inside job.


On this episode of the Journey to Self-Love podcast, we will dive into the "steps" to take in setting standards & expectations. Be true to yourself, you owe it to yourself to get what you want in life. During this episode, we walk through the process to take the necessary steps to identify what it is that you truly desire to have, not what someone tells you that you deserve.


If you are OK with others telling you what you can have, like it or not, you are settling for what someone else says is good enough for you. Let's get into this topic and go below the surface to discover and uncover our desires so that we can be clear in setting our own personal standards & expectations.

"Self-Love Talk" ~ What Do You Bring to the Table When Your Presence is the Table!

If I ask you the question, "what do you bring to the table?" Could you truthfully answer the question?

On the Journey to Self-Love, knowing your own value will allow you to preserve your energy and time only for people that recognize your worth and what you have to offer.

"Self-Love Talk" ~ Communication is a Key Ingredient, Use Your Voice

On the Journey to Self-Love, having a voice is an important part of the process. Your voice demonstrates to others, how you feel.
