The theoretical and the daunting self-love that just feels incredibly unattainable sometimes, and so meta, so in the brain, is actually more actionable than we realize.

There are ways that we can integrate this feeling of self-love.

Today is an incredibly special day because it is a first for the skinny dipping listeners. This is the first ever live skinny dipping podcast. I was invited by Elise Barnes, who is just graduating this week actually

from Duquesne University to come and speak as a keynote speaker at their week of well-being.

And in the process, I got to know at least the week that I stayed there, and we got to have

this live conversation about mental health, self-love, and the actionable tips on how to

actually love yourself. It doesn't have to be so meta. It doesn't have to be so intangible.

We can make self-love tangible, and that is the goal today.

These are real tips and tricks that you can apply to your own life.

Elise is a true representation that you can go from the darkest days to the best moments of your life.

And you just never know what's around the corner.

She is a survivor.

She's a friend of mine.

She is somebody who incredibly inspires me.

And I am so grateful that she invited me to this week of well-being at Duquesne University.

It was the first for me. I got to speak at my very first university, and I hopefully, hopefully

it's not the last, because it was an incredible blessing to be a part of something so special.

And I know each and every one of you will pull something from this podcast today to take with you.

I'm just honestly,

I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful to have been there. We did events throughout the week to amplify our connection with ourselves. Then we had this keynote live podcast moment. And then the week

ended with a beautiful, for me, it felt like a prayer.

It felt like a ceremonial moment.
