Hey girl, In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Thema to talk about the deeper emotional aspects of love and self-worth. We explore the importance of self-compassion, especially for women of color, and why so many struggle with being kind to themselves. We also discuss actionable ways to shift this mindset and the transformative power of self-forgiveness. Matters of the heart go far beyond romantic relationships—they start with how we treat ourselves. Dr. Thema and I unpack the importance of self-compassion and self-forgiveness as the foundation for emotional wellness and loving connections.
