Learn to love all parts of yourself. And yes, we do mean all! All of the good, the bad, the messy, the creative, the unattractive, the silly... all the stuff that makes you, uniquely you.

Why is self-love so hard? We come into this life enchanted to be alive, joyous, and curious. Over time, messages we get from our family of origin, our schooling and society shape us. Madison Avenue has been masterful at exploiting our lack of self-love and offering us solutions to fix it. They say we will love ourselves more by consuming more, having more, needing more.

Join host of the recently released podcast Heart and Soul, Ellen Newhouse, for a special hour of the Summer of Self Love series. Ellen shows us that no matter where we have been, what has happened to us or what we have done, we have the power to create a life we love and it starts with the gift of self-love.
