Self Love Yaz

Carissa's episode in SLY first season took off! I invited her back, and this time with questions from you guys. We touch on Carissa's experience leaving toxic relationships and how getting into a healthy relationship lead to her self discovery. She learned so many things about what it means to make a good partner, but Carissa questioned 'how can I be a good partner.'

Lauren joined me for this episode of Self Love Yaz. She shared her self love journey from breakups to trusting her path. What I learned the most from this call was that everyone's path is so unique and individual to them that comparison is irrelevant. If you feel called to do something different, do it.

A lovely chat with my good friend Danielle Bentz (@reikiboston) about her big lift transition: back a few years ago, she has everything, but something didn't sit well with her. She had a great husband and a great job, but 'they weren't for [her].' I wanted to have her on the show to share her beautiful past two years and how she dropped external expectations and followed what felt right.

Welcome to the 10th episode of Self Love Thursdays! I wanted to cap off the first season with me, Yaz. I touch on all things mental health, self-love, and why healing yourself can be challenging at times. I hope you enjoy this episode and can't wait for season 2!

This week I had my sister, Samira, on the show! She shares her journey of finding friendships and not relying on others to fuel her happiness. Sam touches on self-worth and self-love and how that was very difficult for her. She noticed that she would attract others who were also embracing negative self talk and self worth. She had to change the inside to attract others on the outside.

Interview with Vivian Ngo, a business owner, online fitness coach, and a good friend. Viv walks us through her self love journey and how she had to choose to follow her dreams, not her parents.

I spoke with Christina, a young, adventurous soul who walks us through her self love journey. When Christina was 12, she woke up in a state of paralysis.

We chat about the disabled community, the toxicity of before and after pictures, and why you should embrace your 'dirty laundry.' Enjoy!
