Self-love has been hijacked. In today’s episode, we unpack the real, raw, and often uncomfortable truth about what self-love actually takes. From holding ourselves to higher standards to keeping promises when no one’s watching, we share the lessons, stories, and struggles that shaped our journeys. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about integrity, growth, and showing up for yourself every day. Join us as we explore the paradox of true self-love and why it’s the most important relationship you’ll ever build.

What if the fear of using your voice isn’t your fault, but something you were taught? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, we open up about the painful experiences that conditioned us to stay quiet, from childhood wounds to uncomfortable moments at the gym. We’ve both had to learn how to reclaim our voices, set boundaries, and rewrite the stories that kept us small. If you’ve ever felt like speaking up was unsafe or wrong, you’re not alone. We’re here to remind you that your voice matters, and it’s never too late to start using it. Tune in and take that first step with us.
