Hey , ​ You've been told to “love yourself” since approximately forever. It's on that sign you were gifted from Home Goods. It's in every piece of advice anyone has ever given you during a hard time. And yet you're still talking to yourself in ways you would never talk to someone you actually care about. That's not a personal failure. That's socialization doing exactly what it was designed to do. The version of self-love most people are selling is surface-level – bubble baths, affirmations, the occasional face mask. But you can't moisturize your way out of decades of conditioning that told you your worth has to be constantly re-earned by doing things for others. That’s why I teach something different. I call it radical self-love. It’s not trendy or indulgent. It’s the real work – the kind that changes the way you treat yourself every single day. Not as a reward when things go well, but as a baseline you refuse to drop below. That’s what my latest video is all about: I break down what radical self-love really means and how to truly love yourself unconditionally in a new video. Watch it here, and subscribe while you're there so you don't miss what's coming next. ​ ​ ​ ​ 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 ​Unsubscribe · Preferences​

Trump blasts lawmakers over war powers resolution
