Summary
Taking honest inventory of where you are today, how much are you loving yourself? How much self-love and self-nourishment do you give yourself?
In this episode, I answer a listener email about how to cultivate a deeper capacity for self-love. We'll cover how self-love - and a lack of self-love - looks like in our inner dialogue, in relationships and friendships, and even in interactions with strangers.
I suggest a couple of books to grow your self-love and self-acceptance:
In the episode, I also mention the possibility that you might be carrying an ancestral pattern or contract of not loving yourself. To work through that and release it, you can use my guided healing journey to clear ancestral patterns and burdens - scroll to find this resource below:

| 0:42.3 | Hello and welcome to this episode of Awakening, my current and ongoing series of episodes within the Inner Work podcast. |
| 0:53.3 | So we are chugging along, you could say, as we individually and |
| 0:59.4 | collectively continue to awaken and become more and more conscious of who we really are, |
| 1:06.1 | what we are really here to do, what really matters to us, us and what doesn't and how to navigate human |
| 1:13.3 | reality while embodying and honoring and expressing our divine nature. That is what we are up to |
| 1:22.8 | on this podcast. Today, before I dive into the episode proper, I wanted to share a message about |
