58 ~ Self Love: Teachings & Takeaways Part 1

Desire As Medicine Podcast

The self love series has been so transformative that we had to pause, reflect and digest. The series was inspired by the episode with with Dr. Stephanie Bridwell when she shared her desire to have a deeper relationship with herself. We kick off our digestion with insights from Katie, who bravely shares her path to self-acceptance and the strength she's found in setting boundaries. Her story challenges us to rethink body image. We re-look at the lens of the body positivity movement and embrace the power of failure as a catalyst for personal evolution.
We also navigate societal conditioning that glorifies perfection. With Karen's refreshing perspective on aging, we weigh the importance of becoming our own cheerleaders and staying grounded in reality. Karen's wisdom helps us shift the narrative from the relentless pursuit of youth to an empowering acceptance of our aging bodies. Her wisdom reminds us to reflect deeply, embrace change, and pursue passions that enrich our lives, highlighting how acknowledging and pursuing our desires is transformative.
We also unravel how self-love fuels our deepest desires by fostering a sense of worthiness and empowerment. This isn't about striving for perfection; it's about authentically expressing ourselves and making choices that align with our true desires. We illustrate how setting boundaries and prioritizing personal needs, even amidst discomfort, form the foundation for a fulfilling life.
Another guest we digested was Madison, a nude portrait artist, whose soft and heartfelt communication deeply resonated with us, leading to more self-acceptance. Madison guided listeners through a body-positive activity and shared how, even though her mother lovingly guided her towards loving her body, she still struggled with body image—highlighting that support doesn't always resolve inner challenges.
Join us as we revisit self love and digest some of what we have covered. We'll sit with discomfort and learn to cherish it, as it part of the path towards the life and growth we seek.
