Journey To Self-Love

In this episode of Journey to Self-Love, we're getting real about something we often overlook—our energy. So many of us are focused on chasing goals and building dreams, but we forget that if we don't protect our energy, we're doing ourselves (and our purpose) a disservice. Life can be exhausting, and it's easy to get pulled in all directions—whether it's from draining people, toxic situations, or the endless noise around us. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle—trying to keep up with everything and everyone, but if we're not careful, we can find ourselves in the proverbial “chasing our tails,” constantly trying to catch our breath.This episode is all about how to tune into yourself, set boundaries, and protect what's truly important: your energy and the pathway to your purpose. I'll be sharing tips on how to recognize what's taking from you, how to stay grounded, and why taking care of your energy isn't just self-care—it's purpose-care. If you're feeling burnt out, lost, or just out of sync, this episode is for you.Let's talk about how we can protect our purpose by first protecting ourselves. It's time to honor your energy and remember that your well-being is the foundation of everything you're meant to do in this world.

Today, we're going to explore why putting yourself first is not only a radical act of self-care, but a revolutionary act of self-love. I'll share practical tips for setting boundaries, stepping into your power, and reclaiming your time and energy without guilt.In this powerful, empowering and transformative podcast episode on "Journey to Self-Love", we're diving into one of the most essential—and often overlooked—elements of true self-love: putting yourself first.Too many of us have been taught to prioritize others, to give without asking for anything in return, and to shrink in order to make space for everyone else. But here's the truth: you are worthy of love, time, and care. In order to fully show up for the people and passions you love, you first have to honor your own needs and desires. The harsh reality is , you must be able to breathe for yourself before you can take care of others.Together, we'll uncover how putting yourself first isn't selfish—it's necessary. When you honor your own needs, you free up the energy and space to live your fullest, most vibrant life. So, if you've been waiting for the permission to step into your power, here it is: It's YOUR time to thrive.Drop a comment or share your thoughts with me personally—let's support each other on this amazing self-love journey.With Love,Sharon D.

Our environment demonstrates our value, it doesn't determine it. Our value doesn't change just because our environment changes.

When it comes to top priorities in life, are you at the top of your own list? Do you make yourself a top priority or do you allow others to decide what priority you are instead? Some people have no problem putting their needs, wants, and desires above you if it benefits them. But what about what you want, what you need and what you desire? Are you at the top of your list or do you just go with the flow even if the flow is going in the opposite direction of where you want to go? In this episode on the Journey to Self-Love, we will examine what it means to make yourself a top priority and what it will cost you if you don't.

Are you living life by your own standards & expectations or are you allowing others to determine your measuring sticks in life for you? On the Journey to Self-Love, when you take the time to sit alone with yourself, you can discover the things that really matter to you. Only then can you place some type of value on what's truly important. No one can tell you how to set your own expectations and standards for what's acceptable to you. Setting personal standards & expectations is an inside job. On this episode of the Journey to Self-Love podcast, we will dive into the "steps" to take in setting standards & expectations. Be true to yourself, you owe it to yourself to get what you want in life. During this episode, we walk through the process to take the necessary steps to identify what it is that you truly desire to have, not what someone tells you that you deserve. If you are OK with others telling you what you can have, like it or not, you are settling for what someone else says is good enough for you.

On the Journey to Self-Love, having a voice is an important part of the process. Your voice demonstrates to others, how you feel.
