As we close out the year, join me for a special episode of Growing Through Self-Love, where we’ll reflect on an incredible year of podcasting, self-love, and community. I’ll be sharing my personal journey, my purpose behind the podcast, and my vision for helping more women embrace their true selves, despite societal beauty norms. Thank you for being part of this journey with me! Plus, I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my memoir, The Beauty They Could Not See, a story dedicated to every woman who has ever struggled to see her own beauty. Let’s celebrate our growth, our community, and what’s to come in the new year.

Imagine turning ordinary moments into meaningful experiences that fill your life with joy and gratitude. In today’s episode, we’re exploring how to romanticize your life—how to see beauty in the little things, savor everyday moments, and create personal rituals that make you feel loved and celebrated. This episode is all about embracing a mindset of wonder and appreciation. Join me as we talk about simple practices to bring more magic into your life and find fulfillment in your daily journey.

In this episode of Growing Through Self-Love, we dive into why so many of us feel disconnected from our appearance in photos. Have you ever looked at a picture and thought, “Is that really me?” If so, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll explore the psychology behind this feeling, including the Mere Exposure Effect, societal beauty standards, and self-criticism. I’ll also share tips on shifting your perspective, practicing self-compassion, and building self-esteem that doesn’t rely on pictures. Tune in to discover how to see yourself with kindness and embrace the unique beauty you bring to the world!
