If you ever struggled with loving yourself, hit rock bottom, and are always the very last priority after everyone else in your life, you're going to love this episode with Trey Anthony, the author of "Black Girl in Love (with Herself)". This is THE self-help book that gives black women a relatable voice and supports them on how to practice self-care and self-love.
Since Trey could never truly relate to all the personal development experts because of the color of her skin, she has written the book she would have needed as a black woman that often acted like she didn't exist.
Growing up, she was taught that self-love and expressing emotions were weak, and that she had to be a strong woman. This lead to Trey hitting rock bottom just a year ago, when she found herself crying on the bathroom floor and her life fell apart. She had a deep conversation with God/Universe: She then knew she had to make her mess her message and help others heal, too.
In today's episode, we talk about
Why we so often ignore red flags in relationships - and how to no longer do that!
How she got back up after her life fell apart as soon as she adopted a 2-week old baby
Why avoiding emotions is not a weakness at all
How to be kinder to yourself
Her top tips on how to kickstart your self-love journey when all you want to do is run away
And so much more!
