| 0:00.0 | We reach our goals and then we sustain them longer if we give ourselves love, if we give |
| 0:05.7 | ourselves compassion. |
| 0:20.5 | Hey, everyone. Emily Abadi here. You are listening to episode 243 of Hurtle, a wellness-focused podcast where I talk to inspirational people about everything from their highest highs and toughest moments to essential tips on how to live, a healthier, happier, more motivated life. We all go through our fair |
| 0:39.4 | share of hurdles. My goal through these discussions is to empower you to better navigate yours |
| 0:44.3 | and move with intention so that you can stride towards your own big potential and of course, |
| 0:50.5 | have some fun along the way. For today's conversation, I am rounding out the content on self-love |
| 0:58.7 | with my dear friend, Dr. Nina Pallone. She is a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of |
| 1:06.7 | experience, and we are getting into it today on all things self-love. We are talking about the |

| 1:44.9 | moving on from toxic relationships, that kind of thing. Plus, can affirmations be helpful |
| 1:50.2 | in the adoption of a self-love practice and what those might look like if you want to do it |
| 1:56.6 | right? And something I want to make sure that we really hammer in today is that you can have a positive |
| 2:03.7 | self-love practice, but still go through bouts of negative self-talk. |
| 2:08.8 | Now, when you have a positive self-love practice, that makes the, let's call it, reverberation |
| 2:14.8 | from that negative dialogue a little less severe. |
| 2:18.7 | It enables you to come back into your body and have a little bit more grace on the regular. |
| 2:24.7 | And we talk all about that goodness today. |
