Speaking about self-love
When I speak about self-love, I speak about the things we live every day: what we feel, what we tell ourselves, and the choices we make around the people we love.
I share what I’ve lived and learned, and what I’m still discovering about myself. My hope is that someone listening recognizes something of themselves and begins to wonder what they truly want for their own life.

What I speak about
Listening to what we really want
Some of us have become so used to thinking about everyone else’s needs that we rarely ask about our own. When we finally do, the answer can be difficult to hear. Listening to ourselves can help us find interests and wishes we’ve put aside, and discover what we want to make part of our lives now.
Understanding ourselves without judgement
I still sometimes judge myself and others. But when I notice it, I try to understand why I’ve reacted that way and what I can learn from it. We can recognize something we want to change without making ourselves feel guilty for being where we are. That same understanding can help us look at the people around us with more empathy, too.
Loving ourselves and the people in our lives
We can love someone deeply and still want different things. Understanding those differences helps us talk about what matters to each of us and where we can compromise. As we get to know ourselves, we can also learn to love the person in front of us for who they are, instead of holding on to the picture we’ve made of them.
Would you like me to speak with your group?
Tell me about the people you’re bringing together and the occasion you have in mind. I’d love to understand what matters to your audience and what you’d like us to explore. We can talk about whether my work is a good fit and how I could contribute.
