MyCurlsSpeak with Key

Let's talk about self-love and anxiety. That's right, I recently did something that would have been unthinkable for me a while back - I attended a concert all by myself! It was a surreal experience that not only taught me a lot about self-confidence but also helped me manage my anxiety in a way I had never envisioned. So, join me as I take you through this extraordinary journey of self-discovery, where we'll learn how starting your day right sets the tone for everything else that follows.In the next segment, I'll share with you the power of art and how it can lead us to a place of joy and tranquility. More importantly, it's not just about the destination, but about the journey of overcoming fear and social anxiety. By exploring my personal experience of attending a concert alone, we will delve into the role of self-love in anxiety management, and how it can empower us to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.In our final segment, we'll discuss something that's close to my heart - the importance of self-validation and self-worth. I'll share my struggles with low self-esteem and how empowering it was to realize that validation should come from within, not from others. We'll explore the power of affirmations, and how they can uplift us during our darkest moments. And as a bonus, you'll get a sneak peek into my thoughts on the upcoming 100th episode and the potential for a live audience recording. So, tune in, and let's embark on this exciting journey of self-discovery and self-love together.Support the show

Ever found yourself wishing that someone would love you unconditionally, but discovered that the journey starts with you? This journey of self-love and personal growth is the topic of today's conversation. Falling head over heels for ourselves, and staying that way, is transformative. We often yearn for a partner who wouldn't give up on us, but what if we showed ourselves the same grace and mercy? I share an inspiring song that deeply moved me and discussed how a video from Jada Chiefs about her relationships struck a chord within.But, what happens when we stumble and make a mistake? As we progress, we realize that there are red flags in relationships, jobs, and friendships that we shouldn't ignore. That's our focus in the second segment, where we stress the importance of loving ourselves despite our flaws and forgiving ourselves when we fail to act. It's a hard choice, but necessary - to love ourselves unconditionally and extend the same affection towards others.
