We're back, baby! Hello, lovely. How have you been? It's been a long time since I asked you that. 6 months, actually. Lots has happened, let's catch up. It's a new season with new energy. We're gonna be doing some self-love check-ins, what does self-love mean to me right now, and how can that help you along your own self-love journey as well.


I'm excited to kick off this season. I'm going to be talki...

It's the final episode of season one! One of my favorite blog posts I used to look forward to writing was A Year in Review. I thought it would be the perfect send-off for this year of receiving. Join me for a little winter fireside chat as I share what I learned this year. I also look back at all our guest episodes and highlight the biggest lovely nuggets of wisdom we got from each one.


As you start the countdown to 2025 and have...

How hard is it to #loveyourself with multiple identities? Exhausting. This month reminded a lot of us how many identities we have to carry with us that constantly put us in survival mode. That includes invisible disabilities like #typeonediabetes. I sat down with a fellow #T1D and we chatted about self-care practices that help us navigate this autoimmune disease. If you're figuring out how to love yourself when the world wants to s...

Why is prioritizing yourself so hard? For the longest time, I ignored #selflove because I grew up thinking it was selfish. Throughout my journey, I've learned to reprogram false beliefs but sometimes it takes longer to unravel certain things. Especially when you're the eldest daughter of immigrant parents.


I chatted with my lovely eldest daughter friend Julie C. Dao about her Year of Joy and how she prioritized happiness during h...

My favorite time of year is here and a new season embraces our self-love journey. Happy Fall! 🍂


I've been struggling with letting go of perfectionism lately. I was challenged this month to continue to push through old programming and finally broke through new ground. This month's #podcast episode has a very special guest, Jesus García, who I met a year ago?! What is time?? We chatted in the lovely Austing Food Forest and the trees...

Finding grace in your self-love journey can feel a little out of reach when you're over-giving, working too hard, feeling the weight of perfectionism on your shoulders. Often times, we're given opportunities to check in and see how far we've come. Even if that means repeated lessons (thanks, Mercury Retrograde) but it never means you failed. You're still on the right track, especially if you're still betting on yourself and finding...

To fear or not to fear? In this episode, we dive into battling with fear during your self-love journey. I chatted with someone who once helped me defeat imposter syndrome, Linda Camacho, who is also walking the walk and betting on herself when it comes to starting her self-love journey. We're here to remind you it's okay to have fun and not let fear take control over the self-love journey wheel so you can still enjoy the ride!

Self-love is action...it's change. In this episode, we chat about reevaluating the goals you had for the year and being okay with letting go of things that aren't serving the direction you want to go anymore. I chatted with my mentor, James McGowan, who taught me about taking action towards your goals. This skill is now embedded in how I approach my self-love journey with even more intent. We're here to remind you that goals don't ...

There comes a time in your #selflove journey where it feels like you're stuck. Healing isn't linear and neither is your growth. Trusting the process takes time and grace. A little #gratitude too. I chatted with my lovely friend Amara who reflected on an unexpected physical healing journey that brought to light some self-love #healing as well. As we both navigate our words for the year, we're #grateful for how far we've come and inv...

I always say your inner child is your biggest guide. In this episode, I chat with one of my closest friends, Kat Fajardo, who often encourages silly moments in her self-love journey. We share lots of laughs and tools to help you connect with your inner child as well as other past versions of yourself to help guide your healing in a playful way.

What's something everyone has in common in a #selflovejourney? Life chapters. Seasons change and suddenly you're in a new chapter of life and you're finding it hard to anchor your self-love journey. With so much wind from the Unknown, I chat with my sister who reminded me of what it was like to step out into the world with you taking the lead for maybe the first time in your life. Hopefully, this episode will remind you of a past v...

Surprise! I turned my self-love journey blog into a podcast. After seven years of documenting my life on my blog, findalovelylife.com, I decided to give it a rebirth. I share the highlights of my self-love journey so far along with some tools that have helped me, especially words. They anchor my self-love journey more than I realized. I did start this as a blog after all, but now it's time to add words from more lovely souls. My ...
