#11 Do not underestimate the gift of your love

Consider this: Your love for yourself is the most powerful gift to every person who is interpersonally connected to you. How you love yourself is how you are going to be able to love everyone else in your life, especially your partner and your children. We might feel unconditional love for our family members, but often our actions model a conditional love. It is only when we become self-aware and begin to look inward that we can begin to understand that how we speak to, treat, and know love for ourselves is all we can demonstrate within our external relationships. In this episode, Susan gets personal with how her love for herself impacted who and how she was in relationship with, in her process of understanding how loving herself impacts everyone around her. We discuss belonging to ourselves before we belong to another so that we can see ourselves in another, and recognize how we all belong to each other after all. We also hear from Danyel, 36 from Perth, Australia who shares with us what ‘mothering myself’ means for her. Website: www.motheringmyself.com Instagram: @motheringmyselfpodcast
