🩷 Being lovable is our essence, our blueprint , our birthright. It's not something that is earned through the eyes of another (even if our early life and societal conditioning leads us to believe otherwise).

🫶 The more we come from a place of self-love, the more we discern who and what we allow into our orbit.

❌ No about of performative actions, pushing, chasing, trying harder, ultra-busyness, relentlessly working hard - masked as purpose, believing ‘love isn’t for me', hyper-independence, will set you free, heal you or allow the space for you to sink into the beautiful YOU at current age - the beautiful you that has always been worthy, always enough, always loveable.

😍 Bit by bit, engage in self-love, through savvy acts of service to honour your worth and value (e.g., auditing access to you from those who don't meet your energy or value you; saying no to thoughts, people and things that don't serve your peace)

Respect yourself and your worth through self-love behaviours.

❌Start saying NO when you catch yourself saying yes inauthentically.

🧘‍♀️Take rest, to rejuvenate and create room for more creativity and spark.

🏃‍♀️Remove yourself from people and situations that create chaos over peace.

🥳Play, laugh, have fun more - retune to your childlike wonder.

❓Are you choosing how you respond to life's events and people through your adult wisdom or from your patterns from the past?

🧘The more you pause, create space to respond reactor than react, the more you can create and influence connections and outcomes that are aligned with self-love.

💫Step into your glorious, empowered you - lead from a place of self-love and self-care and deepen into being more authentically you, in all that you do.

🧎‍♀️Self-regulation time ......

🙏Take a moment to pause and join me as I walk through a cool self-regulation tool when feeling stress, overwhelm, anxious, out of sorts in some way.

🩷Pause and take a moment for yourself now. Join me as we go through the simple skill of FLEX AND RELEASE.

It'll take you out of an activated sympathetic nervous system and into a space of a more groundedness, presence and calm.

Enjoy!

Sometimes self-love looks like moving away from people, situations, patterns and so on, that no longer serve.

🫶This can take courage and I recommend doing it with support.

❓Take a few minutes for yourself today and challenge one limiting thought, belief or action that you have/do that doesn't really serve you, in an area of your life. Could be a relationship, work - whatever resonates for you.

🧐Ask if it leads you towards a healthy desired outcome - be curious, be honest with yourself.

🫶Make one change to move you further in the direction of your desired outcome.

When you audit who has access to you, you send yourself the message that you are valuable, lovable, self-respecting, in your beautiful essence of worth.

Put your attention, time and energy where you are seen, met, heard, understood, appreciated, supported, prioritized. Be sure you are offering the same to the people who you are welcoming to be in your orbit.

❓Can you have grace for yourself and your partner as you choose to be alive together?

🩷 Being in healthy love connection is not about being perfect - that doesn't exist. It does mean the relationship, and what the union brings as a whole, is good enough, enough of the time - in the eyes and hearts of both people.

🫶 By embracing that we are all wounded in our own ways, and that we all have our version of protection strategies, we can choose to love from a place of imperfection. This doesn't excuse poor behaviour, or not showing up in meaningful ways for your partner. It does require both people are actively doing there work, to show up as there best selves as often as possible. We are all works in progress.

🫶Part of self-love is honouring the protection strategies you may have learned as a child to manage the environment you were in. That may looked like being quiet, staying small, saying yes when you meant no, being the 'good child', isolating when having emotions.

💛 The flex is deciding when and with whom it feels healthy and safe to put the walls down (even little by little), in the now, so you can have healthy connections. This might look like asking for a hug, naming you have a need and asking if the other person could meet that need, reaching out when feeling isolated etcetera.

⚡️Triggers are rarely feel good, however they are wonderful opportunities to explore your inner landscape and see how old unintegrated wounds may be still running the show in your adult life.

🥰 I'm a huge fan of welcoming triggers, sitting with them, exploring what they want me to know (in the now), so I have choice to come into my current age wisdom and see situations through adult eyes versus the wounded child. I encourage you to do the same (I'll be cheering you on in the background).

🫶This creates a space to be able to have lots of self-compassion (and compassion for others, as we all do this vulnerable inner healing work), and make choices that are more aligned with the life you want, now.

Love yourself 🩷

10/30/2025

🫶Come back to yourself, moment-by-moment. Take time to pause, and track whether you abandon yourself in small, subtle, or even big ways in relationship. Come from a place of self-knowing, grace and compassion.

Feel into one changes you can make that feel loving and self-self-honoring.

🩷 Love yourself.
