Stress isn’t the story—self-love is. Today we sit down with Cheyenne Moore—author of Self Love 101: How to Look in the Mirror and host of Safe Space with Cheyenne—to talk about the messy, honest middle of healing. We reframe anxiety and depression as parts of you asking to be seen, name the inner critic (Stanford, we see you), and get practical about boundaries, people-pleasing, grief, and being authentic online without performative “positivity.”

In this episode:

• Why your anxiety isn’t the enemy (and how to hear what it’s asking for)
• “Beginner-friendly” self-love tools that actually fit real life
• Grieving the Old Self & integrating the New You (Cheyenne’s next book + journal)
• Masculine emotions, parenting, and modeling nervous-system safety
• The trap of spiritual perfectionism + what honest progress looks like
• Using your voice without fixing, forcing, or faking it
