91 | Self-Love Affirmations for Midlife Moms: Mindfulness to Heal Burnout and Reconnect With Your Reflection

When was the last time you truly looked at yourself and felt love—not criticism—in the mirror?

With Valentine’s Day approaching, we’re surrounded by messages about love… but too often, the most important relationship—the one with ourselves—is left out of the conversation. If your self-talk is more critical than kind, this episode is your heartfelt invitation to reconnect with the most foundational love of all: self-love.

In this beautiful Valentine-inspired session, you’ll be guided through affirmations that celebrate your body, your story, and your presence—flaws, laugh lines, and all. Whether you’re looking in the mirror or closing your eyes with hand on heart, this practice will remind you just how worthy you are.

In this episode, you’ll receive:

• A compassionate reflection on how self-image shifts in midlife—and how to meet it with grace
• A mirror-affirmation session to nurture deeper self-connection and kindness
• A gentle, grounding ritual to celebrate the beauty of who you already are

💗 Press play now to wrap yourself in love—and make this Valentine’s Day the start of a deeper relationship with you.
