Happy Valentine's Day!

Today's episode I discuss the importance of remaining happy during this Valentine's Day whether or not your have a partner.

Valentine's Day should be a thoughtful reminder of the importance of self-love, self-care, and your true emotional well-being.

Every year it seems that Valentine's Day places these large expectations on one saying that if you don't have a partner, it is a waste of time to celebrate it. well, phooey on that I say!

I began giving "self-love shopping tours" back in 2015 to help women remember that it's O.K. NOT to have a partner. They are still worthy of love. Instead, it should be a reminder that we can put ourselves first and take great care of ourselves since we're always at the hand of taking care of others.

Today I discuss some of the things to think about when looking for your best partner. It's also important to take care of yourself as well with or with one. Self-care isn't selfish, it's imperative to keep you sustainable as you reach your goals.

There's nothing more important than finding happiness within and not thinking of all of the externals that might help bring happiness to your heart. There's a huge misconception that happiness is dependent on our external factors such as being in love, having a fancy car, a big house, a new baby, etc. But true happiness comes from within. It is a choice we must make for it to be true.

Today's episode is a little nudge for you to find joy and fulfillment within yourself. I also cover the importance of celebrating all forms of love including platonic, familial, and self-love.

So grab your chocolate heart, your hot cocoa and join us. I'll see you inside.

Here's to hearts, puppies and rainbows,

Love Always,

Dawn-Marie
