#305: How You Heal: Healthy Ego + Self-Love

Love heals. Specifically self-love. But it requires a healthy ego that works to connect your mind, body, and soul. Learn how to heal your ego inside this post.

I got into the health space wanting desperately to fix people, believing if I could fix them, I could fix myself.

I didn't call it that at the time. Honestly, my heart hurt over how much time people invested into the health space that seemed to take more than it gave back. Growing up, I watched countless women I know give everything, even losing themselves to something that made them more miserable than when they started.

They chased a place people told them would make them happy.
Yet, few arrived. It was a vicious cycle of self-hate that I desperately wanted to break, for them, but also for me.

It wasn't until years later that I realized the hard way no one in the history of the world has ever hated themselves healthy.

Hate and healing do not go together.

They're antagonists. Yet the only thing we know about getting healthy has been a form of self-escape related to self-hate. But this isn't the way. It can't be.

In this podcast, I tell you why self-hate and disassociation prevent you from healing. I also share the survival mechanism of your ego that turns self-hate into self-inflammation, masking self-hate in artificial forms of self-love but in ways that leave people sick, lonely, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. Instead, the answer is love, and yes, even self-love.
