Self-lovers! I’d like to formally introduce you to the mastermind behind the scenes of the podcast: Bethany!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the past almost 3 years, she’s been editing every. single. episode. you’ve heard on the show, often working after hours to release them on time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an HSP who’s pretty sensitive to sounds, it means the world to me to have a producer like Bethany making sure that the audio you hear is as pristine as possible. 🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact: Bethany and I have only met twice IRL. The first time was right before we started working together and the second time was last week when she produced my new audiobook!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just wanted to express my gratitude for because this podcast would not be possible without her. 💖

For a long time, I thought people wouldn’t respect me because of what I chose to share on Instagram. I was scared that nobody would want to listen to me, let alone learn from me, unless I was a professionally-dressed, well-spoken, career-oriented woman. I wouldn’t even let guys I dated look me up on social media because I thought they’d be turned off by my photos! 🙄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then I realized that I’d rather be disliked for who I AM, rather than liked for who I’m not. Nudity is empowering to me. Taking pictures is how I express myself. And anyone who has a problem with a woman’s body, probably doesn’t respect women in general. 🤷‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The patriarchy existed long before women posted pictures of themselves on Instagram. S*xual violence existed long before women wore short skirts and crop tops out to the club. Misogyny existed long before women even knew it was wrong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not saying you need to post pictures like I do to feel empowered because I know that modesty can be just as empowering as nudity. But what I am saying is that we must question how we judge ourselves and other women.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do we decide what is and isn’t “appropriate”? Why must a mother cover when breastfeeding her child while a man can walk around shirtless and no one bats an eye? Why is my little sister taught that if she wears spaghetti straps she’ll “distract the boys from their learning”?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of these patriarchal beliefs seem like no big deal. I mean, my sister can wear a T-shirt and move on with her life. But how we do small things is how we do ALL things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If society doesn’t respect a woman based on what she is (or is not) wearing, then society doesn’t respect women PERIOD.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are worthy of respect no matter what you wear. But it’s about time for society to wake the f**k up and realize it.

You know what makes me really uncomfortable?
Small talk.
Asking someone how their day is going, hearing a mundane “fine” in response, chatting about the weather, and saying “take care” without actually caring.
I hate small talk.
Small talk is cheap, lazy, and boring.
You know what I want to hear about?
What keeps you up at night?
Who makes you laugh the most?
When are you the happiest?
Where do you dream of traveling to?
Why did you stop calling your mother?
Tell me about your sh*tty day and your incredible s*x life because small talk is worthless and vulnerability is beautiful.
So go ahead, share a giant slab of your heart with me below👇 I can’t wait to read about you. ♥️

I have a new mantra for you👇
Present. Over. Perfect.
In a world full of scrolling, double-tapping and swiping, it’s hard not to compare ourselves to others and long for the perfect life, the perfect body, the perfect relationship, the perfect house, the perfect car, the perfect family, the perfect you-name-it.
Isn’t it so silly how strangers on the internet can make us feel so not-good-enough?! 🤔 I often fall into this comparison rabbit hole too but as soon as I catch it, I drag myself the f**k out because guess what?!
Perfect doesn’t exist!
Social media does not show the behind-the-scenes or the inner battles (confession: my legs aren’t shaved, I washed my hair with a bar of soap because I forgot the shampoo/conditioner in the other bathroom, and my to-do list is a million miles long, per usual)
But all it takes is some good editing skills to make everything look perfect online 😅
So today I choose to embrace all those imperfections and be present this weekend, with my family, my work, and most importantly, myself🌸
I invite you to also take a moment this weekend to stop scrolling, liking, comparing, and wishing and just BE PRESENT✨

Imagine someone walked over to you and poured salt on your hand.

You’d be like “Umm why the hell did you just pour salt on my hand?”

Now imagine that you have an open wound on your hand and someone poured salt on it.

It would sting. It would burn. And your attention would instantly focus on that pain point.

Once that wound heals, there may be a scar, but if someone came over and poured salt on the scar, it wouldn’t hurt.

In the same way, when someone attacks (i.e. pours salt on) a part of you where there’s a pre-existing negative belief (i.e. an open wound), it hurts that much more.

But if someone attacked a part of you that isn’t wounded or is already healed, then you’d brush it off and move on with your life.

The key is to heal your wounds until they become scars: still there, still a beautiful part of you, but no longer able to hurt you.

And then whoever tries to pour salt on it, will just look like an idiot. 😉

What wounds are you working on healing these days? Feel free to share whatever you’re comfortable with. 🙏
