In this episode we explore the concept of self love in a fun way while anchoring ourselves to the philosophically important questions, to which we lend our personal insights and how the journey has unfolded for us.

Hop in to enter your own self love era 💕

What does it really mean to love yourself?

Self-love has become one of those words we hear everywhere — but what does it actually mean? Does loving yourself mean being comfortable all the time? Does it make you less ambitious? Can you heal and still want more? And where does self-love end and self-indulgence begin?

This podcast explores the often misunderstood world of self-love through the lenses of psychology, therapy, and lived experience.

Ria, a practicing therapist and counsellor, brings her professional understanding of human emotions and relationships. Akanksha brings the perspective of someone who has lived closely with the worlds of academia, achievement, competition, ambition, and the pressures that come with them — and is now learning to approach life from a place of greater emotional awareness and wellness.

Together, they unpack the myths, contradictions, and uncomfortable questions surrounding self-love — what it is, what it isn't, and what it can look like in real life.

This is a space for honest conversations about healing, ambition, self-worth, relationships, success, boundaries, and becoming kinder to yourself without giving up on the person you want to become.

Because perhaps self-love isn't about wanting less from life. Maybe it's about no longer having to hate yourself to get there.
