What if your most painful moments held the key to your greatest growth?

We come from very different backgrounds, but what brought us together was a shared belief. Your past doesn’t define your future. If you’ve ever felt broken, stuck, or like your story disqualifies you from success, we made this episode for you.

Self-love has been hijacked. In today’s episode, we unpack the real, raw, and often uncomfortable truth about what self-love actually takes. From holding ourselves to higher standards to keeping promises when no one’s watching, we share the lessons, stories, and struggles that shaped our journeys. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about integrity, growth, and showing up for yourself every day. Join us as we explore the paradox of true self-love and why it’s the most important relationship you’ll ever build.
