#130: The Pillars of a Healthy Relations...

Stephanie Rigg
About this episode

✨ Last chance to join the 28-day Secure Self Challenge ✨

If you've ever come across standard "self-love" advice and it hasn't really landed for you, you're not alone. As great as it would be if we could all click our heels and achieve self-love, the simple reality is that for most of us, that's a far cry from where we're at - and if anything, the pressure to love ourselves can leave us feeling even more broken and hopeless.

In today's episode, I'm sharing four pillars of a healthy relationship with self, that go beyond "self-love". These are more concrete, actionable focus areas that you can explore as you build a stronger and more resilient sense of self, and in so doing, reap the rewards in your relationship with others. We'll cover:

  • self-compassion
  • self-care
  • self-respect
  • self-trust
