The Importance of Self-Love

Gareth Michael & Kim Jewell
About this episode

In this week’s episode, Gareth and Kim talk about self-love and why it’s often so challenging. 

Why is practising self-love so important for our personal growth? How do we reconcile with our inner critic? Where is the line between focusing on ourselves and being selfish? How does our need to please others get in the way of our love of self? And how can we practice and nurture self-love in the midst of our busy lives?
