In this episode, D’Arcy and her sister April dive deep into what it means to reclaim love on your own terms—especially when you’ve spent years minimizing your needs, hiding your pain, or staying small to feel safe. Together, they explore how worthiness, visibility, and nervous system regulation play a role in opening yourself back up to being loved, seen, and supported.
They reflect on how generational and cultural conditioning can disconnect us from our bodies and our truth—and how honoring your story, even the messy parts, is a radical act of love in itself. Through personal shares and honest conversation, they unpack the internal barriers that keep us from receiving love and what it looks like to rewrite that story in real time.
In this episode, you'll hear about:
Feeling unseen and unmet, and the grief of naming it
The protective patterns that help us survive but later keep us stuck
Learning to stay in your body when old wounds resurface
The tenderness of letting yourself be known, even when it’s scary
How regulation and self-compassion create space for deeper connection
The process of reclaiming love—not from others, but for yourself
This is a conversation for anyone longing to come home to themselves, to feel held without performing, and to remember that love doesn’t have to be earned. You are already worthy.
