Radical Self-Love: How to Put Yourself First Without Guilt

What if the most transformative relationship in your life was the one you have with yourself?

In this episode of Hold My Purse: A Self-Care Journey Through Life, we’re diving deep into what self-love really means—beyond the self-care buzzwords. This isn’t about face masks and spa days (though those are great). This is about setting boundaries, protecting your peace, and stepping fully into the love you deserve.

Self-love is a daily practice, and it impacts everything—your confidence, your relationships, and even how you handle stress. But let’s be real: many of us were conditioned to put others first, second-guess our worth, and accept less than we deserve. This episode is all about unlearning those habits and embracing a love that starts from within.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ How self-love goes beyond self-care and changes the way you show up in life
✔️ Why setting boundaries is a form of self-respect (and how to do it guilt-free)
✔️ The science behind self-compassion and how it reduces stress
✔️ Practical ways to start choosing yourself daily
