February is known as the month of love, and what better way is there to celebrate, than to cultivate a deep and abiding love, one that lasts forever- the love for yourself?
“If I build a home within myself, a palace of peace created with my own awareness and love, this can be the refuge I have always been seeking” ~Yung Pueblo
The heart (no pun intended) of Trust You First is the journey inward. It’s all about learning to find your inner voice. To listen to what your body and your heart are telling you, and then to take steps that build trust between the part of you that lives in your brain and the part of you that lives in your heart- your authentic self.
With the growing popularity of #selfcare, it seems that there are lists, suggested routines and memes telling us how to ‘do self-care right’. While these things can certainly be helpful, they can also become another thing that stresses us out!

We can take all of our perfectionism and our need to feel validation by checking all the boxes and all of a sudden, self-care becomes a chore. Another depleting, soul-crushing item on our endless to-do list. In order for self-care to be truly nourishing, we have to be willing to throw all the rule books in the garbage…and even our own ideas about what’s ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Then, we start listening- asking our bodies and our hearts what they need and want. It takes practice and real bravery to do this, because it challenges all kinds of internalized beliefs! But, it also builds a rock-solid foundation from which to build (and dismantle, and re-make) authentic and honest self-love. This month, I’ll be sharing all kinds of tools and ideas that you can explore in order to build that foundation, so make sure to follow me on instagram and to check your email inbox each Sunday. I also shared more on the topic of Self-Care and Authenticity on IGTV, and recorded it! You can watch the replay here & comment or DM me any questions. |
