No amount of chocolates or roses from CVS will fill us up and make us truly feel loved. Amiright, parents?!


During this month that's focused so heavily on romantic love, we must guide ourselves and our early adolescents to focus on appreciating our own selves. Self-compassion is the root of feeling truly loved for who we are, and this is what we ultimately want for our kids during this stage.

That's why I wanted to record this week's podcast.


In this episode, Riley and I discuss:

  • Why boundaries are the ultimate expression of self-love
  • Untangling what our own moms showed us about loving ourselves
  • How we practice self-love without it feeling cheesy

I hope this lifts you up, and in turn, your kid feels the love. You both deserve it!
