In this episode of the Joy Muck Club podcast, in this episode, we dive deep into the powerful and often challenging journey of loving your body when you're living with a chronic illness. We discuss the importance of redefining your sense of self-worth beyond physical health and how to release guilt about your limitations. Rest isn’t a luxury; it's an essential part of self-love, and we explore how to incorporate rest into your routine without feeling guilty or less than.

Key topics covered:

• Why self-worth shouldn’t be tied to your physical capabilities or appearance.
• How to embrace your body with compassion and acceptance, even when it's not functioning the way you’d like.
• Strategies for releasing the guilt surrounding your limitations, and why doing so is a form of self-compassion.
• The importance of rest in the healing process and how taking breaks is an act of self-care, not weakness.
• And I walk you through some simple exercises for building a loving relationship with your body.

In this episode of the Joy Muck Club podcast, I explore why self-love can be so difficult and why it’s okay to take a break when you need to. It’s normal to struggle with loving yourself, and sometimes, it’s important to lean on others for support. I’m here to remind you that it’s okay if you can’t love yourself today — I’m here to love you when you can’t.

Key topics covered:

• Self-love is a worthy journey, but it’s not always easy
• Why you shouldn’t just put on a happy face and pretend to love yourself
• It’s OK to pause, just don’t stop
• Even if you don’t love you right now, I do – and the importance of seeking help

In this episode of the Joy Muck Club podcast, I dive into the power of focusing on how you want to feel for the year ahead. It’s not about resolutions or doing more—it's about being and embracing the emotions that will guide you to a fulfilling year. I explore the importance of loving yourself exactly as you are and how that mindset can be a game-changer for your well-being.

I’ve also got a super fun (potentially a little scary) exercise for you to try: writing yourself a love letter. It’s time to get cozy with some self-love, write down all the things you adore about yourself, and set the tone for an amazing year ahead.

Key topics are:

• Why focusing on how you want to feel (rather than what you need to do) can transform your mindset
• The benefits of self-love and accepting yourself just as you are
• And a step-by-step guide on how to write yourself a love letter (I promise it’s worth a try)

Whether you're a fan of self-care practices or completely new to them, this episode will inspire you to look inward and embrace your amazing self—just as you are. Plus, you’ll leave with a fun new ritual that’s perfect for kicking off a year full of love and joy.
