Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hi guys, and a welcome back to Uncensored and Unapologetic.
I am your host, Cassandra Valentine and this is a
safe space for growth, healing and truth. Today's topic is powerful,
what happens when you commit to celibacy for one year

(00:25):
and how it can change your life by teaching you
to love yourself. First, let's get into it. Celibacy isn't
just about saying no to sex. It's about saying yes
to yourself. It's about reclaiming your energy, your time, and
your work. When you commit to one year of celibacy,

(00:50):
you're giving yourself space to heal, reflect and grow without distraction.
You begin to notice patterns you've been and repeating, relationships
you've been tolerating, and the ways you've been neglecting your
own needs. That year isn't empty, it's full of discovery.

(01:13):
You learn what makes you happy outside of intimacy. You
fall in love with your own company, You strengthen your confidence,
and most importantly, you set a new standard for how
you deserve to be loved and treated. When you choose
celibacy for a year, you're not punishing yourself. You're protecting yourself.

(01:41):
You're saying I'm enough as I am. I don't need
validation from anyone else. I choose me, and that choice
changes everything. So set your intentions. Don't just do it

(02:03):
to take a break, Do it to build your self love.
Fill your time with purpose hobbies, fitness, journaling, prayer and therapy.
Create boundaries. Avoid people or situations that tempt you to
break your vow. Celebrate milestones. Each month is a victory

(02:30):
worth honoring. My affirmation for today, repeat after me. I
am whole, I am worthy. I choose myself. This year
of celibacy is a year of love, growth and healing.
I will emerge stronger, wiser, and more in love with

(02:55):
who I am. One year of celibacy may sound challenging,
but it's really an act of radical love. It's the
decision to honor your body, your soul, your future. When

(03:16):
you come out of that year, you'll see yourself differently.
You'll respect yourself more deeply, and you'll never again settle
for less than you deserve. Thank you for joining me

yourself is the most powerful choice you can make until
