This is episode 197, why you neglect your self-care with Joanne.

Welcome to Over It and On With It.

I'm your host, Christine Hasler, and for over a decade I've been a life coach, speaker, and author.

Each week you'll hear me work directly with a caller as I coach them through a goal they want to accomplish or an obstacle they may be facing.

I'll provide a blend of practical and spiritual advice as well as tangible actions

you can apply to your own life. Now let's get on with the episode.

Hi everybody, welcome back to the show I am coming to you from the East Coast where I just

finished teaching a beautiful workshop at omega and now we're out in Cornwall, Connecticut

visiting a dear friend of mine.

You may even be able to hear some frogs in the background as I'm recording this

in our cute little Airbnb here.

I'm always reminded of so many of the core issues that we all struggle with and something that I pretty much

every human being struggles with is love. At some point or another we had our heartbroken, we didn't have our needs met in the way we really needed it.

We didn't feel love. We felt love was conditional. We thought we had to earn love. We didn didn't feel safe so we didn't feel

love there's so many ways that our little hearts get broken and because of that

we move farther and farther away from self-love.

And as we've talked so much on this podcast about before,

self-love really begins with reparenting ourselves, giving ourselves the love, the care, the attention, the safety, the nurturing that perhaps we didn't get, or even perhaps we did get, and then for some reason or another we don't give it to

ourselves. I see it over and over again what shifts people's lives the most is

when they heal the wounds where they didn't feel lovable, forgive

themselves and forgive anyone else that contributed to that misunderstanding
