<p>I was a guest on Nicole&#39;s Podcast &quot;Heal Out Loud,&quot; and the convo was so darn good, I wanted to copy and paste and make sure my people got to experience it too. </p><p>We went deep into what it actually means to love yourself — not the aesthetic version, not the bubble bath version, but the version that makes loneliness lose its grip. The version that stops you from needing someone else in the room to feel whole.</p><p>We (of course) talked about the nervous system, and the inner child, and the essential relational experiences with yourself that nobody ever taught you to have, that repair and rewrite what we internalized about ourself and our feelings. Nicole and I talked about real life ways we wonkily relate to ourselves in the middle of life logistics, and in response to life logistics. </p><p>For me personally, I feel a new level of clarity and embodiment of my authority as a teacher, and public figure, and this episode with Nicole felt so safe for me to articulate my work and what I want you all to know. </p><p>Thanks for listening as always, for being here, and for trusting me with your sweet ear holes, body and heart. And of course, that little inner sweetie, who is listening always. </p><p><br></p><p>And if you want to connect with Nicole and her work further, she can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/evolvingwithnicole/</p>
