1106 Love Your Damn Self: A Heart-First Approach to Life

Sis, it’s time to stop waiting for permission to put yourself first. In this episode of Wake Up Happy, Sis!, we’re flipping the script on outdated narratives and diving into what it really means to love your damn self—fully, fiercely, and unapologetically.

Joining us are two incredible guests: Kimberly Pack, a trauma-informed coach and business strategist who helps people own their presence and beat burnout, and Jide Ofoma, an entrepreneur and business strategist helping others bridge the gap between corporate life and entrepreneurship. Together, we’ll unpack the emotional, physical, and professional aspects of self-love, helping you build a heart-first approach to life that prioritizes YOU.

This episode is for the woman who’s been told to grind, hustle, and sacrifice—but is ready to rewrite her story. You’ll walk away with real tools to nurture your body, fortify your mind, and fall madly in love with the most important person in your life: YOU.
