Are you interested in self-care? Have you been struggling to love yourself? In this episode I talk with Jenna Banks, the author of the transformative book "I Love Me More”. Jenna share her remarkable journey to self-love. Jenna candidly recounts her difficult upbringing in a strict, cult-like religious environment, which left her feeling devoid of self-worth. However, through sheer courage and determination, Jenna was able to break free from the cycles of abuse and self-sacrifice, ultimately discovering the power of prioritizing her own happiness and well-being. As Jenna and Linda delve into the nuances of self-love versus self-care, the impact of societal conditioning, and the strategies for overcoming the "saboteurs" of self-love, listeners are left inspired and equipped to embark on their own transformative journeys. This conversation serves as a poignant reminder that true self-love is not selfish, but rather the foundation for a life of fulfillment, joy, and the ability to positively impact the world around us.
Questions I asked:
· How did you find the truth and turn this bus around?
· Can you dispel the myth that self love is selfish?
· What would you say the three components of self love are?
· Why would you say that self love provides positive energy?
· But in your book, you talk about seven saboteurs of self love. Can you go over those?
· What would you like all women, to know?
Topics Discussed:
· Jenna's journey from a difficult, abusive upbringing to finding self-love
· The importance of choosing yourself and prioritizing your own happiness
· Overcoming societal and patriarchal conditioning that encourages self-sacrifice
· The difference between self-love and self-care, and the internal aspects of self-love
· The role of financial independence and not relying on others for validation
· The synergy between attention, energy, and love, and the need to direct that inward
· Identifying and overcoming the "saboteurs" of self-love, like guilt and false hope
· The dangers of seeking external validation rather than cultivating internal worth
· The selfless nature of making yourself a priority and the positive impact it has
· The importance of community, support, and empowering other women
Quotes from the show:
· "I realized it just made my life so much more peaceful and joyous. Right? I went from no value, no work, no sense of self worth, no care or concern for myself at all to the point where I'd rather die, to realizing that my happiness is my highest priority." @jennabanks.0 @SisterhoodSweat
· "Making yourself your highest priority is not selfish. It sounds like it, I know it, but when you give back to yourself, when you pour into yourself and make sure that your needs and your happiness are being met, it's actually one of the more selfless things you can do."@jennabanks.0 @SisterhoodSweat
· "If you look at it from that lens, it encompasses everything. It encompasses how you treat yourself, and encompasses how you let others treat you, making sure that you're prioritizing your happiness and well-being, not sacrificing your well-being to please others." @jennabanks.0 @SisterhoodSweat
· "The more that I was brave and took chances on myself, the more I came to love myself, respect myself, trust myself. Those are all synonyms for self love, self respect, self trust, self forgiveness, self compassion."@jennabanks.0 @SisterhoodSweat
