Self-Love vs Self-Sacrifice: The Need For A New Approach
In this episode of the Curious and Cultured podcast, we’re diving into why the way we think about self-love might need an upgrade. Too often, the narrative is all about doing things for others or indulging in hyper-consumerism. But what if true self-love isn’t about any of that? We’re talking about a kind of self-love that’s all about nurturing yourself and loving who you are, not just what you do for others. Join us as we explore how redefining self-love can help us show up for ourselves (and others) in a more meaningful, authentic way.
