Hey, besties, and welcome to the sad to savage podcast where I teach you step by step how to change your habits and change your entire freaking life.

Today, we're going to be talking about one of the things that has truly transformed my brain and interned my life, which is self-love.

We're going to talk about how to actively practice it, how to know when to practice it, what writing affirmations is and why you need to be doing it. There's so much that's going to be

packed in this episode and it means so much to me. It is so important and I cannot wait to dive in

with you guys. Now, I started posting on TikTok on January 21st of 2022, but before that, I'd shared

my habits, routines, and journey on Instagram. And what I think is funny is that instead of calling it Sad to Savage,

I actually called it my self-loved journey. Now, I never told the story of how Sad to Savage got its

name, so here's that little story real quick. In January, I had been walking on the treadmill

as part of my little morning routine because it was snowy outside here in Michigan, and I looked

up habits on TikTok. I immediately went zero to 100 frustrated because it was the same thing

I'd seen a year and a half earlier when I started my self-loved journey. No one was teaching habits.

No one was telling you how to do it. They were just showing their lives. And I got so upset because

that is what made me feel like shit before. It made me feel so lone. It made me feel hopeless.

So I went home. I propped up

my phone on my dresser and I filmed a video kind of ranting because I was just so frustrated.

But in the video, I basically said, everyone's just posting their lives, drinking their juice,

waking up like, ah, but no one's teaching you how to do it. I did it. I literally went from sad

to freaking savage. And then I went off talking

about my habits, my routines, all the life changes that I've made, but sad to savage stuck.

By the next day, I'd created an entire series built around teaching people habits and that's how

that was born. But before all of that, this was my self-love journey. Now, your perspective is truly so powerful.

And you have the opportunity to make your world beautiful.
