Hello, lovely.
We’re back, baby! How you been? It’s been a long time since I asked you that. 6 months, actually. Lots has happened, let’s catch up. It’s a new season with new energy. We’re gonna be doing some self-love check-ins, what does self-love mean to me right now, and how can that help you along your own self-love journey as well.
I’m excited to kick off this season. I’m going to be talking to some more lovely souls and diving deeper into topics I feel really elevate your self-love journey experience. I also have two client books launching this year and will be reviving the Find A Lovely Bookclub to chat with them about their debuts.
We’ve got a lot to heal and dive into, but we’re also not going to forget about joy this season. I know we’re all craving it, we need it–even if you don’t feel like you deserve it (especially if you feel like you don’t deserve it). Glad to be back, let’s find a lovely life worth living.
Self-Love Check-In
Taking a look back at season one of the podcast, I wanted to reflect and come up with a new intention for season two. My goal for season one was to just start, jump in! I have this tendency to whirlpool myself into planning mode. If you’re new here, hi! Episode 11 is a great place to get a recap of season one without diving in completely.
My goal for season two is to show up and check-in, dive deeper. What does self-love mean to me right now? How can I show up in a place where I’m still becoming and offer that blue print to help you on your self-love journey too? I know a lot of us (myself included) struggle with perfectionism. I want to challenge myself by showing up more in the in between, because that’s where the magic of self-love happens.
Self-love means to me…
Self-love check-in time! Right now, there are three things I’m working on and defining in my self-love journey. Numero uno: I have authority over my life and so do you.
You Have Authority Over Your Life
Whether that’s advocating for yourself, setting better boundaries, saying yes (or no) when you want to do something – you, my love, have authority over your life. What does that mean for you? How can you find the life you want to live? For me, I like to tune into archetypes. Pinterest is a great place to start – who do you want to be?
What is your relationship with pleasure?
Oof. There’s so much trauma around this one for me. I don’t have an answer for you (yet). Right now, I’ve been figuring out what parts of this feel negative and how I can redirect that energy into something that nourishes me without shame, versus numbing me or being something I feel like I have to perform or produce before allowing myself to enjoy something.
Tapping into your future self
As part of my self-love check-in process, I’ve spent so much of my self-love journey healing past versions of myself. This year, I’ve been tapping into future versions of myself. I realized that she exists because I currently exist; I am becoming her. We are one. I can go to her for guidance, and she can smile back at me, grateful that I’ve made it this far 🙂
The future is yours
As we journey forward into this new season, I wanted to remind you how much the future holds. I found the perfect Lovely Letter to kick us off with a heart-warming self-love check-in with a past version of me. Shout out to pandemic Monica back in October 2020, reminding us that having a plan is what keeps that lovely life worth living. Dear lovely, the future is yours.
Check out episode 12!
Season two is officially here, but if you need more lovely words to help guide your self-love journey, there are lovely gems waiting for you on the blog.
Whether you’re just starting your self-love journey or you’re in the middle of it, you’re not late or behind. The intent for this place was always to make you feel less alone.
If you’re in the middle of a new life chapter, know that you’re not doing anything wrong or choosing a wrong path. The path you choose will always lead you to where you’re meant to be. Trust the process and give yourself the opportunity to bet on something new, you never know where it will lead you.
