Welcome to February and the month of love here on the Habit Thrive Podcast!

On Episode #190 today, we're exploring the language of self-care that’s everywhere right now—and we're asking an important question:

Are self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-love, and self-care really the same thing… or do they each invite us into something different?

Together, we break down these four concepts and why understanding the distinction can help us experience them more intentionally and more fully.

• What self-acceptance really means, and how it allows us to be fully human
• How self-compassion supports us when we struggle or make mistakes
• Why self-love is about worthiness, not behavior
• How self-care becomes more meaningful when it’s rooted in awareness
• Why noticing our habits is the first step toward change

Rather than separate ideas, these practices form a living ecosystem—shaping how we speak to ourselves, treat ourselves, and show up in our lives.

✨ This week’s invitation: notice, journal, question, and stay curious.

Next week, we’ll explore why these distinctions matter and how they play out in our everyday habits.
