Do I Really Have to Love Myself First?

Ironically, self-love is one of the greatest hills we climb as humans. We are born whole, then learn along the way that we are unacceptable.  This leads us to feel like we have to act a certain way, or shove certain parts of us under the rug to be accepted and ultimately, loved.  
The #1 barrier for most of us Unbrokens to really loving and being loved is the experience of or the avoidance of… Shame.  Shame is the emotional reaction to the belief that “something is wrong with me” or “I am defective as I am.” But, is this really true?  Is there a way out? Can you love and be loved because of rather than in spite of these beliefs, feelings, and the struggle you find yourself in day after day after day?  Absolutely. In fact, it is THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN truly love and be loved. I lay it out for you here in Episode 3.
