In today's episode I'm sharing a ritual my friend Betsy introduced me to — you write thirteen wishes, burn twelve, keep the one that survives. Mine said physical health. And what I discovered is that showing up for my body has required something I didn't expect: actually prioritizing myself. 

Bell Hooks writes in All About Love that one of the best guides to being self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others — and that we should not expect to receive the love from someone else we do not give ourselves. 

Today's episode is about tending to your body as an act of love. 

Question to carry into your day:
What is one way you have been withholding care from your own body — and what would it mean to give yourself that love today?
