Fluent in French and English, Areena Antoine was born in Mauritius Island and grew up in Vancouver, BC. Areena is an undergraduate Sociology student at the University of British Columbia. Sociology has helped Areena discover her passion for women's rights. After her studies, she hopes to become a lawyer specializing in human rights. 

In her free time, she is a mentor with Go Girls helping young girl’s build confidence and self-awareness to thrive. Passionate and dedicated, Areena is the host of Self-Love Lounge Podcast -- a platform for empowered women to empower others. 

In this episode, Areena and I dive into her self growth journey and talk about the fluctuating nature of self love. We discuss the sometimes ugly, hard, and messy sides to self care and why it's important to embrace the constant evolution of self through it all.

We discuss the following:

  • What self love means to her
  • Balancing self discipline & grace within your self care routine
  • The turning point that set her onto her self love journey
  • Hard truths of self love
  • Responding to relationship dynamics that resist your growth & change

Tune in to hear more of her story and insight!
