Do you ever feel afraid to love yourself? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this episode, Paige gets real about the fear, discomfort, and confusion that often comes with the concept of self-love. She unpacks why loving yourself can feel unsafe, selfish, or even threatening depending on your past, your programming, and your current relationships.
From trauma bonds to people-pleasing, and from sabotaging growth to staying small to make others comfortable—this is a deep dive into why we fear loving ourselves and how we can start showing up differently.
This one’s part pep talk, part truth serum, and packed with practical actions that help you go from performing self-love to living it.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between self-love and arrogance
- Why some people will fall away when you rise
- How trauma makes shrinking feel safe
- What real responsibility looks like when you believe you’re worthy
- 6 grounded ways to start loving yourself in action, not just words
And of course, it ends with a challenge you won’t want to skip.
