Episode Transcript
You have made it.
(00:02):
You've made it.
You have made itto the end of 2025.
You've made it to theend of the self-love 100.
You have made itright here, right now.
Yay.
I am so proud of you.
You have survived another year.
You have survived 100 days ofdoing little things, switching
(00:27):
up routines, changing up habits.
And loving yourself more, andyou should be so incredibly
proud of yourself for that.
I'm so incredibly proud of you.
Can you believe thatit's the end of the year?
It only made sense that atthe end of the year, we are a
couple days away from Christmas.
(00:48):
If you're listening to this onthe Sunday that it comes out.
Christmas is this week, so itwas only appropriate that I
do this episode in a littleSanta hat right in front of
my beautiful Christmas tree.
I am very proud, very proud.
Thank you.
Now what do you do?
Now, this self love 100has come to a close, but
(01:13):
that doesn't mean thatyou stop loving yourself.
That doesn't mean thatyou don't put in the work.
Change up your habits forthe betterment of you.
It means all of these episodes,our podcast videos, all of our
content that lives forever,you have access to that.
(01:35):
Come back, work on yourself,and work on things that maybe
you might be struggling with.
But take everything that youhave gained and everything
that you have learned fromthis challenge with you
into the remainder of theyear, into 2026 and beyond.
(02:04):
I think the biggest questionthat you might have for yourself
now that we're at the end, thelast episode of the Self-Love
100 is, well, how do youcontinue to love yourself more?
How do you take everythingwith you into tomorrow, into
the next day after you'vecompleted that 100 days?
And to that, I say, well,first of all, let's take two
(02:26):
seconds to live in the presentand be so incredibly proud.
Who we are today.
And the second thing I wantyou to ask yourself is this.
Do you remember backin around episode one?
Maybe it was the prerequisiteto episode one where we opened
(02:48):
up the Love Yourself More carddeck and you responded to the
very first question of the deck.
The question that we startedwith is the very first
card in the Love YourselfMore Card deck, and that
question is, who are youand how do you see yourself?
Before you look back at yourinitial response, I want you
(03:11):
to sit with this question.
I want you to really thinkabout who you are right now,
not who you were, but who youare right now in the present.
After dedicating 100days to loving yourself
more, how do you feel?
What are you proud of?
What has been going on inyour mind and your heart?
(03:32):
Your body, your soul?
Look at yourself in themirror and respond with
what is looking back at you.
Who is looking back at you?
Are you glowing alittle bit differently?
Are you seeing things alittle more differently?
Are you romanticizingyour life a little more?
Are you taking things more slow?
Are you saying no?
When your whole body istelling you to say no?
(03:55):
Are you making betterchoices for yourself?
Are you loving yourselfmore in ways that you
could have never imagined?
Who are you right now andwho is the woman looking
back at you in the mirror?
Take a moment.
Take out a piece of paper, apen, your notes, app, whatever
(04:17):
is most comfortable for you.
Write it down, take a recordingof it, take a video of it,
respond to this question,and then I want you to go
back to your response fromthe very first episode.
I want you to look back atday one how you answered
(04:40):
the reflection question.
Who were you then, and how doesthat compare to who you are now?
Where have you seen changes inyour behavior, in your heart,
in how you see yourself, andhow you talk to yourself?
How have you beengiving more to you?
(05:01):
Filling your cup, takingcare of yourself, reminding
yourself that you are soincredibly worthy of love.
Of light of life that youare so incredibly worthy
to exist here right now.
How has the past 100 dayschanged your life In the
(05:21):
biggest ways, but even, andmost especially in the smallest
ways, because those matter too.
How has dedicating yourselfto loving yourself more
changed your confidence?
How has dedicating 100days to loving yourself
more made you a better you?
(05:44):
How has it remindedyou that you are so
incredibly worthy of love?
I created the Love Yourself Morecard deck because I realized
that the more that we startedto get to know ourselves.
The more that we were able toeasily love ourselves more.
Each of these questionsin here has been
(06:05):
meticulously picked out.
I spent two years gatheringquestions, creating questions,
talking to people, and doing myown healing to pick the perfect
100 questions for this deck.
This deck asks you to go deeperwith yourself, and that's how
(06:26):
we continue to love ourselvesmore beyond the self-love 100.
But just in general, if wedon't know who we are, how can
you expect to love who you are?
It's like lovingsomeone else, right?
If we don't know whothey are, how can we
say that we love them?
(06:46):
We might have love for them,but how can we get that love?
That depth without learningmore about this person
or about ourselves.
And most times, I reallythink that all it takes
is one perfect question.
Just that one question thatcompletely changes your life,
(07:13):
changes the way that yousee things, changes the way
that you look at yourself.
And I love that thereflection question.
Really allows you to see whoyou are before you start and
then asks you again who youare after you've answered all
100 questions, or after you'vecompleted the self-love 100.
(07:38):
Of course I love using both thedeck and the self-love 100 in
tandem with each other, pullinga card every single day of the
Self-Love 100 and journaling.
My response to that question,it's so funny because the
Self-Love 100 and the LoveYourself More card deck,
while they were made towork together, they weren't
(08:02):
created with each other.
They were created almostat the same time, and it
just so happens that theywork perfectly with each
other for the 100 days.
And look at this, lookat this question that I'm
literally holding in my hand.
What area of your life is readyfor a push or a bold next step?
(08:26):
It's like it's meant to be.
If you're looking to get yourhands on the Love Yourself more
card deck, you can grab it atthe self-love archives.com.
All the informationis in the show notes.
My Lincoln Bio.
Anywhere you can find me oranything of mine, it's there.
You are so incredibly worthyof love and I hope that the
(08:50):
self-love 100, the routinesand the habits and the changes.
That you have madein the past 100 days.
I hope that all of the toolsthat I've provided to you
over the past couple of weekshave made an incredible,
insurmountable difference,big or small in your life.
(09:12):
Take everything that aligns.
Take it with you.
Use it to the best of yourability and love yourself more.
I cannot wait to continuethis journey with you.
We will still be back here nextSunday for one final episode
of 2025 as we look forward into2026 and in next week's episode,
(09:37):
I may have a really excitingsurprise to share with you.
Until then.
Thank you so much for joiningthis challenge with me to
end 2025 together to loveourselves more together.
I appreciate you tothe moon and back.
(09:57):

move into a brand new yearand to keep remembering how

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
