I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca

Are you someone who finds it hard to stay warm in winter? Are you struggling with fertility or hormonal issues? Do you often feel tired or depleted, especially as we head into the colder months?   Then grab a cup of ginger tea and your cosiest blanket, because today we're diving into the wisdom of Winter - and more specifically, the magical, mysterious world of your Kidney Organ System.   Yep, your Kidneys aren't just cute little bean-shaped things that filter your blood; they're the powerhouse of your vitality, fertility, and longevity.   In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is ruled by the Kidney organ system, and it's a time for slowing down, going inward, and preserving your precious life force - known as Essence, or Jing. And honestly, you want to preserve that Jing like it's liquid gold.  Because it kinda is.   So today on I Love Me The Podcast, I'll be walking you through: What Jing and Essence actually are Why your Kidneys are key to long, juicy health and fertility The difference between internal and external cold (and how they mess with you) And how to live your best Kidney-loving life this winter.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/06/04/ep-59-keep-your-fire-burning-winter-wisdom-for-your-kidneys/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.   While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I'm known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women's Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I'm the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.   Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

How connected are you… to your cervix? Have you ever truly paused to consider this sacred, powerful part of your body?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we're journeying into the heart of a woman - literally and energetically - by exploring the cervix. Because this isn't just a part of your anatomy.   Your cervix is a portal. A powerful centre that not only influences your health and fertility, but also your capacity to give and receive love… and experience deep, soul-stirring pleasure.   In this episode on I Love Me The Podcast, I'll be sharing what you might be doing that is causing the cervix to age prematurely, how the cervix is intimately connected to your heart space, and the simple ways you can begin to awaken her - so you can unlock full-body bliss.   And just a gentle heads up: I will be mentioning the Big 'O' word.  So if you've got little ones around, this might be an episode to save for a quiet moment alone.

If there's one thing that intimate relationships do exceptionally well, it's holding up a mirror to who we are. They can be the most beautiful, heart-opening experiences, yet they can also challenge us in ways that nothing else can.   And the biggest challenge of all? Staying true to yourself while being deeply connected to someone else.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we're exploring how to maintain your sense of self inside an intimate relationship. Because real love doesn't mean losing yourself - it means bringing your full, authentic self to the table, every single day.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/05/21/ep-57-staying-true-to-yourself-inside-an-intimate-relationship/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

It's often said that we become like the people we spend the most time with… and in my experience this is true…   But it's not just the people - it's everything around us. The books we read. The content we absorb while online. The conversations we engage with. The spaces we work and live in.   Our environment is either lifting us up, or holding us back. And the wildest past? Most of us don't even realise it!   That's why on today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we'll be exploring how you can tweak your environment for success and greater self-love:   - How to surround yourself with people who expand you into your potential… - Why your physical space influences your mindset more than you might think… - And how small shifts - like the content you consume and the habits you build - can create massive change in your life.   For when you change your environment, you change your reality.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/05/14/ep-56-upgrade-your-environment-upgrade-your-life/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

What if I told you that self-love isn't just a mindset - but a chemical response happening inside your body, right now? Dopamine. Oxytocin. Serotonin. Endorphins.   These aren't just fancy science words - they're the feel-good ‘dream team' - the chemicals that light you up from the inside out. The chemicals we want our body producing to support us in feeling all loved up.   Problem is… Most of us wait for something outside of us to trigger the release of these chemicals; a compliment, a hug, a win…   But what if I told you that you can create these chemicals on demand? What if you could hack your brain to feel more love, more joy and more connection - without waiting for life to hand it to you?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we're diving into the science of self-love. You'll learn how these powerful chemicals work, why they matter, and - most importantly - how to activate them naturally to feel amazing anytime, anywhere.   So if you're ready to mix up your own self-love cocktail, then let's go.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/05/07/the-self-love-chemical-cocktail-the-science-behind-feeling-good/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Imagine a world where love flows freely - between friends, strangers, even those we disagree with. A world where kindness isn't just an idea, but a way of being. Sounds pretty magical, right? Well…   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I invite you to help make that vision a reality - one breath, one thought, one heartfelt intention at a time. Yes, today I'm sharing with you the powerful Loving-Kindness Meditation. A practice that starts with love for yourself, and radiates that love out to embrace all the people and creatures around you.   So please, take a short break from what you're doing, so you can follow along to this beautiful meditation, and we can create a more loving, heart-led world, together.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/04/30/ep-54-from-self-to-world-a-loving-kindness-meditation-for-all-beings/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Four years ago, I made a decision - one that felt small at the time but has grown into something so much bigger. I decided to give back to the very Earth that gives us everything, by donating a percentage of my earnings from my Getting Naked school, to plant trees though the amazing charity, Just One Tree.   Fast forward to today, and every single program, every single enrolment, helps get more trees in soil - cooling the planet, restoring ecosystems, and giving future generations a real chance.   But what's even more powerful? Seeing what Just One Tree has accomplished. When I started donating, they had big dreams. Today, they've planted almost 5 million trees!   That's why today, on I Love Me The Podcast, I'm bringing you a special conversation I had with Just One Tree's founder - recorded back in 2021, when this journey was just beginning.   You'll hear first-hand why planting trees is one of the most effective ways to combat climate change, how being in nature nourishes us, how to inspire our children to look after the Earth, and how one simple action from you can make a massive impact.   Because small steps? They plant big forests.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/04/23/ep-53-one-tree-one-decision-thats-all-it-takes-to-help-mother-earth/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Have you ever noticed how amazing it feels to walk barefoot on fresh grass, or sink your toes into sand on a beach? This isn't just a a ‘feel good' moment; you're actually Earthing!   Science shows that when we ditch the shoes, it's like plugging our body into nature's Wifi, for better health, better sleep and a whole lot of ‘feel-good' energy. While it may sound too good to be true, the simple act of standing barefoot on the Earth can calm our nervous system and supercharge our health!   So if your shoes have been secretly blocking your connection to Mother Earth's healing magic, then let today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast be the encouragement you need to get your feet dirty and your energy clean!   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/04/16/ep-52-ditch-your-shoes-heal-your-body-the-magic-of-earthing/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

If there's one topic that make people squirm on the self-love journey, it's money. Yep, the big awkward, avoid-at-all-costs ‘M' word!   But here's the truth… If you want to grow real, unapologetic self-love, you've got to tackle your ‘money story'. Why?   Because our sense of worth and how much we value ourself, is deeply intertwined with our relationship with money.   That's why today on I Love Me The Podcast, we're rewriting the script on money, so you can see how dating money and getting into relationship with money, can be a fun and sexy ride!

We all have a story.  And within that story are many other stories that we tell ourself on a daily basis. Stories about why our life is the way it is, or is not, and why we can or can't have the things that we so desire.   But what if the stories we're telling ourself, are not serving us anymore? What if they're contributing to a life that feels ‘less than' or downright hard? What if these stories are limiting our experiences in some way? Keeping us small. Keeping us from the very things that our heart-of-hearts wants for us?   Today on I Love Me the Podcast we explore the stories we tell ourself, how they effect our life, and what we can do to start to unravel the stories that have reached their use-by date.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/04/02/ep-50-when-our-stories-reach-their-expiry-date/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

When was the last time you actually paid attention to your breath? Like really noticed it? If your answer is ‘Ummm… breathing is automatic, isn't it?' then this episode is for you.   While our autonomic nervous system does take care of breathing for us, so we don't die, we can consciously use our breath to balance our emotions, boost our energy and even calm our mind so we can enjoy a restful night's sleep.   Yes, our breath is that powerful! We simply need to know how to use it, so it can support us in living with more ease. That's why today on I Love Me The Podcast, I'll be teaching you my Balancing Breath Practice, and how to take that practice out into everyday life.   So whenever you're scattered, stressed or overwhelmed… If you're feeling flat or low on energy… You can use this simple, yet highly effective breath practice to re-centre, re-align, and bring your left and right brain back into blissful harmony.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/03/26/ep-49-balance-your-mind-and-body-with-this-simple-breath-practice/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Here in the Southern Hemisphere the air's getting crisper, the leaves are changing colour, and our Lungs… well.. they need a little extra TLC right about now. Why?   Because in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is ‘Lung season', meaning these precious air-breathing, life-giving organs are at their most vulnerable. And if our Lungs are not healthy and strong, this is the time we'll fall prey to those coughs and colds that keep us buried in a mountain of tissues.   That's why today on I Love Me The Podcast we'll be looking at simple ways we can nourish and support our Lungs.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/03/19/ep-48-nourish-your-lungs-for-a-healthy-happy-autumn/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

While many of us like to run and hide from big, heavy emotions, I believe every emotion has a seat at the table. Yes, even the messy tear-filled ones, like Sadness and even Grief.   While they may show up at the party uninvited, eat all the snacks and refuse to leave, Sadness and Grief aren't just here to make us miserable. No, these two emotions show up to offer us some wise lessons about life, love and relationships.   While Sadness and especially Grief can feel like they're quite literally squeezing the life out of our heart, they're not here to break us, but to make us stronger. To show us where we've attached meaning to something or someone. To help us see where we might be holding on a little too tightly.   That's why today on I Love Me The Podcast we're diving into the purpose of Sadness and Grief; why they show up, what they're trying to teach us, and most importantly, how we can move through them with love and compassion.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/03/12/ep-47-grief-love-and-letting-go-the-hidden-wisdom-of-sadness/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Today we're diving into into a topic that's very close to my heart - literally. We're talking about breast health.   Those beautiful, powerful extensions of our heart, and how they're not just physical, but deeply emotional and spiritual. Because contrary to what you may have been led to believe, our breasts aren't just there for function and form.   I like to think of breasts, like the heart's megaphone; an external reminder of our ability to nurture, to be compassionate, and to radiate love into the world.   That's why today on I Love Me the Podcast we explore how to give our breasts the care and attention they need, so we can tap into the wellspring of self-love that flows straight from our heart. And yes, that includes a conversation about the great ‘bra debate'.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/03/05/ep-46-why-your-bra-may-not-be-your-breast-friend/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Today we're rolling up our sleeves and getting hands-on with the ultimate self-care practice: Self-massage.   Now before you start thinking, ‘Oh, I can just pay someone else to give me a massage' or ask my partner, we don't want to get in the habit of outsourcing our self-love. While I certainly do enjoy receiving a massage from a professional or my husband occasionally, there is so much healing we can experience, through the touch of our very own hands.   Because here's the thing… Our body isn't just a vessel getting us from A to B. Our body is our best friend. Our home.   And what better way to say ‘thank you' to all that our body does for us day-in day-out, than to show it some tender, loving care with a DIY massage! Not only does it feel AMAZING, but it's a powerful way to connect with our inner self, instigate deep healing within our cells, and help repair our fragmented relationship with our body.   So without further ado, I invite you to join me on I Love Me The Podcast, so you learn how to offer yourself the loving touch you so very much deserve.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/02/26/ep45-self-massage-the-healing-power-of-loving-touch/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

I'd like to invite you to sit with this question….   How is your relationship with food?   If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of guilt or shame or frustration around what you eat or how much you eat - you're not alone. With all the conflicting food advice, and pressures to look a certain way, eating has become smothered in all kinds of harmful emotions, that trigger off unhealthy eating habits.   That's why today, on I Love Me the Podcast, I share a deeply personal chapter of my life - how I overcame binge eating and reclaimed my relationship with food. But more importantly, how I reclaimed my relationship with myself.   Yes today, we peel back the layers on why people have difficult relationships with food, so if this is you, you can stop relying on willpower and self-control… And instead, learn how to create a sustainable, loving connection with your body, and what you put in it!   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/02/19/ep-44-the-root-cause-of-binge-eating/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Can I let you in on a little secret? You don't need to ADD more to your already full plate, to enjoy the magic of self-love. You don't need to journal each day, take bubble baths every other night or spend hours in meditation… unless of course you want too…   Instead, you can sprinkle love into what you ALREADY do each day. Whether it's your morning cuppa tea, folding the laundry, or that five minutes stuck in traffic, you can turn the ordinary, into opportunities for love and connection. So you can grow your love for yourself, one mundane activity at a time!   If you're someone whose struggled to fit self-love into your busy lifestyle, or you simply want to know how to infuse your whole life with a little more love… So you can expand beyond your current self-love practices…   Then grab a cuppa tea, settle in…. or listen to this episode on the go… Whatever works… Because today on I Love Me the Podcast, you'll be learning how to turn your daily routine into a self-love ‘immersion'.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/02/11/ep-43-infuse-your-day-with-love-on-this-international-self-love-day-and-everyday/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

If there's one thing that gets in the way of people actively engaging in self-love, it's time. Or a lack there of.   It's very common for people to use ‘not having enough time' as a reason to NOT do the things they want or need, to live happy and fulfilling lives. We get so caught up in the hustle and bustle, essentially mimicking a hamster on a never ending wheel of to-do lists…   What's the first thing people neglect? Themselves. The very self-care that's essential to one's survival. Yes, self-love isn't just some luxury, self-love is necessary to living well.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast - our final episode for the year - we explore how to overcome this issue of not having enough time for self-love. That way you can put YOU and YOUR needs centre stage as you head into 2025.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/12/18/ep-42-theres-not-enough-time-or-is-there/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Imagine your mind, for a moment, as a busy street… with thoughts zooming by like cars on a 6-lane highway. Some cars drive past multiple times a day, maybe even multiple times per minute… while others run into us at full speed, knocking us into a state of emotional turmoil, reactivity and anxiety.   These cars represent our thoughts, emotions and programmed beliefs; they clutter up our mind and get in the way of us enjoying life.   But what if we could slow down the traffic? What if we would notice these cars driving by, without them blowing fumes in our face?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we learn how meditation can offer us a beautiful way of observing this mental traffic, without getting dragged along for the ride.   If you're struggling with a busy mind and are ready to stop chasing cars so you can embrace the serenity of the present moment, then sit back and relax, so we can go on this journey, together.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/12/11/ep-41-chasing-cars-around-your-head-lets-meditate/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

We all feel fear. It's a primal emotion, that's deeply ingrained in human evolution, essential for our survival in the face of danger.   But what happens when we experience prolonged states of fear? When we let fear invade our lives multiple times per day?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we learn how to love away our fear, so it doesn't cripple our immune system and get in the way of us living healthy, happy lives.   Yes, today we dive into the physical mechanics of fear, and why it's absolutely vital for not only our mental health but our physical health, to learn how to work with fear, so it doesn't make us sick.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/12/04/ep-40-the-physiology-of-fear-how-our-body-responds-to-stress-and-fear/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Fear has this remarkable ability to immobilise us. To make us second-guess our decisions, our actions…  And keep us rooted in the familiar.   But what if we could have a different relationship with fear? What if, instead of seeing fear as scary - a reason to run away and hide - we saw fear as a guiding force, nudging us towards our fullest potential?   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, we explore the two types of fear, and how to welcome and work with these fears, each time they come a knockin' on our proverbial door of life.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/11/27/ep-39-when-little-miss-fear-drops-round-for-a-cuppa/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

I love this quote from the Dalai Lama: ‘Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible'. Always possible, but not always practiced.   Hence why I invite you to consider for a moment…   - Are you being kind? - Kind to yourself? - Kind to the people around you? - Do you move through your day with the intention of being kind?   Kindness is a necessary path to self-love. It's something we can practise to help us deepen our love for ourself, and as a result, deepen our love and respect for those around us.   So today on I Love Me The Podcast, let's explore how we can be kinder in the way we approach ourselves and how we approach life.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/11/20/ep-38-be-kind-whenever-possible-it-is-always-possible/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

What if every bite you took was an act of self-love?   Well… it can be, when we bring awareness to what we put in our body and consciously choose the foods that will nourish, not only our body, but our mind.   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, we'll explore the best foods for long-term mental and physical health, and reveal the top three food villains, you want to avoid.   It's my intention that after listening to this episode, you'll know how to transform your humble plate into a celebration of self-love.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/11/12/ep-37-let-food-be-thy-self-loving-medicine/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

There is no such thing as a grey sky. The sky is always blue. Sometimes, however, grey clouds come and cover the blue sky. And this can make us ‘think' the sky is grey. Well, it's the same with our minds.   The blue sky can be likened to our True Self; the part of us that is free from the conditioning of our mind. The part of us that sees our brilliance. The part of us that was always designed to be our wise guide. That is our blue sky. And just as the blue sky is always there, so too is our True Self, always there.   It's just that sometimes grey clouds - we can liken the grey clouds to our Ego… Sometimes those clouds come in from time-to-time, and block out the blue sky. The blue sky is still there. It's just that we can't see it. And for some people it may feel like they're constantly living under a cover of grey clouds. Their Ego ALWAYS the one in charge, of their thoughts, their emotions and their decisions.   What we need to understand, is that we are NOT the grey clouds. We are so much more than that. And we get to choose whether our sky is blue, or covered in grey. We get to choose whether we're being guided through life by our True Self or our Ego. That is a choice. And that's what we explore on today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/11/06/ep-36-whats-your-bounce-back-time/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

If you've been on this journey with me for a while now, you'll know we all have a True Self; a guiding light within us - a place of inner wisdom - that's free from the negative chatter of the mind.   Well, we also have what Sigmund Freud coined back in the 19th century, as an ‘Ego'. Ahhh, the Ego… Our misunderstood travelling companion, often blamed for our inner turmoil.   The question I invite you to consider: Is the Ego truely the villain it's painted out to be?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I invite you to get to know your Ego, unravel it's true purpose, and reimagine its role in the grand journey that is your life. Yes, today we'll learn how the Ego can actually support you in loving and accepting yourself that little bit more each day.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/10/30/ep-35-dont-let-your-ego-get-behind-the-wheel/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Ok, let's be honest…There are a LOT of coffee lovers out there. You may be one of them. I was one of them, for almost 20 years. But then 10 years ago, something changed for me… And I gave up coffee… for good!   In this week's episode on I Love Me The Podcast, I share: How coffee makes depression and anxiety worse How coffee puts the body into a low-level state of anxiety (even if you're not generally an anxious person) How coffee depletes your adrenal system, making you more prone to getting sick How drinking coffee drowns out your inner voice of guidance (and leaves you feeling less connected) And most importantly… How to lovingly ease yourself off coffee so you can reap all the mental, physical and spiritual benefits.   I know for the seasoned coffee lover, just the ‘idea' of giving up coffee will sound totally ludicrous to you. But please, just have a listen, and then make up your beautiful mind.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/10/23/ep-34-why-i-dont-drink-coffee-anymore   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

When was the last time you had a really good belly laugh? Where you couldn't stop yourself laughing? Where you laughed so hard that your belly actually started to hurt? Do you remember such a time?   In today's fast-paced, pressure-filled world it's way too easy to get bogged down in the serious aspects of daily living… So much so, that we practically forget how to laugh. And over the years the general population has only become more serious..   Today on I Love me The Podcast we explore how laughing, and laughing often, can not only improve our mental health, but our physical health too. Yes, laughter is portable, immediate medicine, we all need to dose up on!   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/10/16/could-laughter-be-the-medicine-you-need-right-now/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Depression is no walk in the park. I've been there, done that. And decided it wasn't for me! Yes, in my 20s I was experiencing severe clinical depression, and was on the verge of being put in a mental home, after continual attempts to take my own life.   What changed? I changed. I decided to start loving myself, instead of hating myself. And over the course of the next few years, I said good bye to the meds, good bye to the depression, and hello to the life I now love so dearly.   Today on I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca, I share the very real journey of depression - the one I experienced first hand - and the steps I needed to take in order to overcome my mental health struggles for good.   It's my intention that sharing my story here today, will inspire you, offer you hope, and give you the insight you need to start your journey to a healthier, happier you. Please know that however dark your days, all you need is a willingness to love yourself, and then love yourself a little bit more each day.   So whether you're struggling with your own mental health or supporting someone who's in the throws of a mental illness, may you leave this episode knowing that depression is NOT a life sentence, and that you can break free, so you can enjoy the life you are here to live.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/10/09/ep-32-bye-bye-blues-my-journey-out-of-depression/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

We are always in conversation with ourselves. Telling ourselves things about ourself and the world around us. Yet, for most people, this inner dialogue is of a somewhat negative nature. Our inner critic sure does like to make us feel bad about ourself, if we let it…   In today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast I'll share a beautiful bedtime practice to help you change that inner conversation to one that supports you and helps you feel nurtured, nourished and most importantly, loved.   Yes, today we learn how to use ‘words' to deepen our love for yourself, through keeping a Love Journal. And the best bit is, it only takes a minute or two a day.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/09/25/ep-30-give-yourself-a-big-internal-hug-by-keeping-a-love-journal/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

I invite you to contemplate this question for a moment: What is the biggest cause of unhappiness?   Maybe you say a lack of money, a lack of a loving partner, a lack of a body you can feel proud of when you look in the mirror, a lack of some other thing you so desperately want…   In my experience, the biggest cause of unhappiness is a lack of gratitude.   So many people fall into the pattern of taking life - and everything in it - for granted. Instead of focusing on all they do have, they focus on all they don't have. Thinking that if they just get more of what they want, then they'll be happy.   But life doesn't work that way.   All you need to do to feel happy, is to be grateful. And that's something every single one of us can do.   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, you'll learn that practising gratitude doesn't need to be an arduous task. You don't need to write out gratitude lists every day… Nope. Being grateful can be one of the easiest, and quickest ways of living happily right now.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/09/18/ep-29-could-practising-gratitude-make-you-a-happier-person/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Contentment can feel like a warm, juicy hug on a chilly winter's day. Wrapped up in a hug of contentment is a feeling of safety, ease, a calm sense of happiness, and a deep inner knowing that all is as it should be. All, is well.   Unfortunately, in our fast-paced, goal-driven world, this feeling of ‘contentment' often gets bypassed. Which is no surprise, given the onslaught of messages we get, telling us we need more social media followers, more likes, a bigger house, a fancier car, a better qualification, more cred, or some new phanjangled gadget that was released all of two seconds ago…   We get so stuck on needing to achieve this, get that, do more, be there, that we lose touch with the here and the now. We lose our natural inclination towards contentment. Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we discover why it really is sexy to live from a place of inner contentment.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/09/11/ep-28-why-inner-contentment-is-sexier-than-it-sounds/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Ever wondered what makes a pelvic floor weak or strong? If so… you're not alone.   As you learnt last week our pelvic floor is essential for everyday living - it's what keeps us balanced and aligned both physically and emotionally. It allows us to pee and poop and enjoy deeper pleasure in the bedroom…   That is… if it's in a healthy, supple state. And that's what we'll be exploring on today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast. Yes, today, we're diving under the hood of our lady parts to discover the nuances of our pelvic floor.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/09/04/ep-27-is-my-pelvic-floor-weak-or-strong-how-to-tell-the-difference/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

If there's one area of the body that's cloaked in mystery, it's the pelvic floor. Well, we all have one. And thank goodness for that, because it's responsible for everything from bladder control to sexual pleasure…   Yes, the pelvic floor is a necessary web of muscles responsible for a whole pelvis full of functions that affect every day life… From women's health to emotional and physical stability.   That's why today on I Love Me The Podcast we'll be shining light on three myths surrounding the pelvic floor, so you can know the truth about your pelvic powerhouse.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/08/28/ep-26-three-truths-women-must-know-about-their-pelvic-floor/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Self-love isn't just a new fad or some trendy catchphrase. When we dive under the surface of self-love, we discover that self-love is in fact the foundation of a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.   So if you've been thinking there's not much substance to self-love, and that perhaps it's not relevant to you… OR you simply want to understand more about how cultivating self-love will ripple through all corners of your life… and help you feel more confidently at peace with everything in your world…   This episode of I Love Me the Podcast, is for you.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/08/21/ep-25-why-loving-yourself-is-everything/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

We've all heard the expression ‘Follow Your Heart', but what does that really mean? How do we tell the difference between what our heart is guiding us to do and what our brain thinks we should do?   Our heart speaks to us every moment of every day, but most of us have stopped listening to its signal; it's like we've turned off that part of us that intuitively knows the answer to all our problems.   In today's episode on I Love Me The Podcast we learn how the heart has it's own brain. Yes, a brain!!! How this brain is far superior to our head brain. And how it's our heart-brain that was designed to guide us through life.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/08/14/ep-24-heartfelt-wisdom-tapping-into-the-power-of-the-heart-brain/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

How often to you find yourself caught in the trap of measuring your worth, based on some external standard? Maybe it's through social media likes, a job title, your looks or material possessions… Whatever it is, there's a tendency for us human beings to seek validation from the world around us.   But what if I told you that your worth isn't tied to any of these external factors? In fact, what if I went a step further, and said that your worth isn't actually measurable?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast we'll be diving into a topic that touches each and every one of us; self-worth.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/08/07/ep-23-stop-measuring-your-worth-and-love-yourself-instead/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Manifesting isn't just some woo woo concept conjured up by a group of sky-clad women dancing round a cauldron, ok? Manifesting, in my opinion, is a way of life.   For we are all manifesting, all the time. We may not always like what we're inviting into our life… But that's ok. Because all we need to do to change the results and outcomes we're manifesting right now, is to up our level of self-love.   And that's what we'll be exploring on today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/07/31/ep-22-when-manifesting-becomes-a-way-of-life/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

How full is your self-love tank? Is it running on empty, where you feel like you're constantly on the verge of breaking down? Or do you know how to say Yes to yourself - how to make yourself a priority?   When we're willing to give to ourself first, our love tank overflows, and only then can we truely give to those around us.   In today's episode on I Love Me The Podcast, we explore why it's absolutely essential that YOU, are at the top of your priority list.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/06/26/ep-21-make-you-a-priority-say-yes-to-you/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Journaling is a beautiful, and ridiculously cheap way of processing challenges and traumas, and simply making sense of life.   I consider journaling like emptying out the mind-trash that drains our energy, keeps us in an anxious state and stops us from being able to sleep at night. Because that's essentially what it is.  You get a pen and blank journal and you write.  And then write some more.   In today's episode on I Love Me The Podcast, I share why journaling has been such a big part of my life, why you might like to invite it into your life… and tips and tools to get the most out of your journalling practice.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/06/19/ep-20-journaling-the-cheapest-therapy-around/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

At some point in life, there comes a time when we feel the need to discover our purpose. And at this time, we may start to ask ourselves deep questions like:   What am I here for? What is the meaning of life? How do I be true to who I am?   And in these questions lies the answer…   I am here to be me. I am here to get to know myself, and express myself, as I am internally called. For your true one purpose in life, is to be YOU! Completely and unapologetically YOU.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast we explore what it looks and feels like to live your purpose.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/06/12/ep-19-your-purpose-is-being-you/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

We all like to feel comfy, right? It can give us a sense of safety and predictability. But what happens if the place we feel comfy, isn't serving us?   What if that comfortable feeling we get from doing the same things we've always done, is actually holding us back?

Did you know that prior to menopause a woman's womb cleanses itself once a month? You may know this as a woman's ‘period'.   Problem is, most of us ladies have learnt to adopt habits and behaviours that get in the way of this all-important ‘womb cleanse'. And when a womb doesn't get the chance to cleanse itself regularly, we create a breeding ground for menstrual difficulties and gynaecological issues… some serious…   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I'll be sharing how your womb cleanses itself, and what you may be doing that could be getting in the way of that cleanse. By the end of this episode you'll have the awareness and insights you need to start cleaning up your pelvis, so you can experience more easeful periods and vibrant pelvic health.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/05/22/ep-16-womb-care-101-why-tampons-are-not-self-loving/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Being vulnerable, for most of us, is scary. It can quite literally petrify the knickers off us, for fear of being attacked or ridiculed. But the truth is, without being vulnerable, we limit the depth of our relationships. Our relationship with others, as well as our relationship with ourself.   Being willing to sit with ourself and love ourself in our most vulnerable moments… that takes courage. But when we're willing to do so, we open the door to a whole new level of self-love. And when we're willing to get vulnerable with another person, it gives the other person a chance to hold space for us, to show their unconditional love for us, and in doing so, build trust and communication so we can enjoy a far deeper bond.   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, we'll be talking about this all important V-word… vulnerability. And how vulnerability is our superpower when it comes to establishing long lasting, meaningful relationships.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/05/15/ep-15-vulnerability-the-cornerstone-of-self-love-and-deeper-relationships/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.   While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I'm known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women's Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I'm the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.   Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

In order to heal ourself, we need to feel ourself. And when I say feel ourself, I mean actually be with ourself long enough to feel our feelings and emotions.   Because we all have them. Feelings and emotions are part of the human experience. And when we make friends with how we truely feel, when we let ourself feel our emotions… only then we can release them.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I'll share how repressing our emotions can make us mentally and physically unwell, and then I'll offer you a way of unpacking your old emotions, so you can learn how to process your feelings in the present moment.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/05/08/ep-14-feelings-fall-in-love-with-feeling-yourself/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

You know those pesky thoughts that play on repeat making you feel bad about yourself… The ones that bring down your self-love, self-worth and self-respect…   Well… you don't have to have those thoughts playing on repeat anymore.

OK, so I have a confession to make: I am a total romantic. I am in love with love stories.  Real life love stories. So it'll come as no surprise that in my 20s, one of the big things on my mind, was meeting my Prince, and living happily ever after.   But let's just say by the time I hit 30, I wasn't having much luck with men. In fact, after dating non-stop for many years, I was still kissing toads, and starting to lose faith. That's when I knew I needed a new approach. That's when I needed to try something radically different. That's when I decided to start dating ME!   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, I'll share how dating ‘myself' invited me into a new way of loving myself. A new way of accepting myself. And a new way of being with myself. A way that, for the first time in my life, allowed me to feel whole and complete, just as I am. And how it was ‘dating' myself, that led to my Prince.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/04/24/ep-12-how-dating-myself-led-me-to-my-prince/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

You know what it's like to be in a relationship where the other person is hot one minute, cold the next. It doesn't feel that warm or fuzzy, does it?   Well, this is often how people are with themselves. They have this on-again off-again relationship. One minute they're supporting themselves full out - doing all their self-care practises and speaking kindly of themselves -  the next they're bombarded with a fireworks display of negative thoughts, turning to a bottle of wine (or 3), to numb out the pain.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we'll explore what it means to commit to your relationship with you. And why doing so, is in your very best interests!   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/04/17/ep-11-committing-to-your-relationship-with-you/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

If you've ever tried to create change in your life, even just a small change such as learning something new… then chances are you've probably experienced at least a little self-sabotage.   Self-sabotage is where we either consciously or more commonly, unconsciously, act and behave in a way that prevents us from reaching our goals or achieving the results we want.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, you'll learn how to avoid walking down Self-Sabotage Lane, so you no longer trip yourself up!   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/04/10/ep-10-and-this-is-why-we-self-sabotage/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Nagging never works. In fact, if you do it enough, you'll simply be met with a fire-works display of disdain and negativity or maybe a cold shoulder.   So how do you get people to pick up their game? How do you lovingly encourage them to actually do what you're asking of them? To take your advice on board?   You offer them a Love Sandwich.   In today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast, I share how to make Love Sandwiches so effectively, you'll have people eating out of your hand.   Check out the full episode show notes (and resources I referred to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/04/03/ep-9-give-up-nagging-and-have-a-love-sandwich-instead/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.
