What would it feel like to truly love, accept and embrace yourself for all that you are? In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm revisiting this incredible podcast interview that I did with life coach Dara Poznar, all about self-love and self-care. As Dara shares her story of personal evolution and the roadmap that led her to life coaching, we're reminded that self-love isn't just a concept—it's a living, breathing practice that underpins every aspect of our lives.

Our conversation navigates the subtle yet powerful distinction between self-love and self-care. Self-care is the art of attentively tending to our needs through intentional action; it is the external expression of the respect we hold for our bodies and minds. But at the heart of it all is self-love, an unyielding acceptance and connection with our innermost selves. It's about peeling back the layers to reveal a deep-seated self-acceptance that transcends superficial labels and empowers us to thrive in both personal well-being and business success.

As we explore strategies to deepen this connection with ourselves, remember this isn't a one-size-fits-all path. Whether it’s through movement and mindfulness, or embracing the stillness of nature to become more present, Dara and I discuss practical ways to cultivate self-awareness and self-care. We also delve into the CARE acronym—Curiosity, Attention, Responsibility, and Encouragement—as a compass guiding us toward authentic self-love. This episode promises to ignite a transformative energy within you, fostering a life that not only flourishes in its own right but also enriches the lives of those around us. So, tune in, and let's celebrate the depth of self-love and the empowering beauty of self-care together.
