Project Loving Myself

Ever notice how love can feel exciting one moment… and suddenly unsafe the next? A delayed reply. A slight shift in tone. That tight feeling in your chest you can’t logic away. In this episode, we sit with those moments. Not to fix it. Not to label it. But to understand why it shows up. Instead of giving you another “just trust it” pep talk, this conversation explores the quiet patterns that shape...

Ever notice how some patterns don’t feel like yours… they feel inherited? The people-pleasing. The overachieving. The quiet pressure to be “good” at the expense of what you actually feel. I’m joined by John Wang, author of Big Asian Energy, for an honest conversation about generational patterns (especially Asian ones), cultural conditioning, and the survival roles many of us learned to play. We un...

Ever notice how big milestones don’t always make you want to pop champagne… they make you stare at the ceiling and think, “Wow. That was a lot.” Episode 250 is not a victory lap or a greatest-hits episode. It’s a pause. A real one. The kind where you look back at 250 conversations about love, healing, boundaries, self-worth, and becoming yourself and ask, “What actually worked… and what was I just...

Ever notice how a new year arrives with a silent demand to be different? To fix something. To upgrade yourself. To become “better” without really checking in with where you actually are. This episode is a guided meditation created to help you pause, ground your body, and reconnect with the version of you that knows her worth without needing to prove it. Instead of forcing your new year's resolutio...

When a very public “perfect couple” falls apart, it quietly shakes something in all of us. If they couldn’t make it… what does that say about love? About soulmates? About us? And during the Christmas season — when everything feels louder — the love stories, the breakups, the questions we don’t usually say out loud — those doubts tend to surface even more. This episode is a gentle but honest conver...

Ever notice how life hands you a plan… and then immediately laughs and does the opposite? You asked for an elephant-sized breakthrough, and instead you got a hippopotamus-shaped detour. Cool. Love that for us. When things don’t show up the way you expected, it’s easy to think something’s gone wrong. But what if nothing’s wrong and life is just offering you a different lesson than the one you order...

When your soul keeps nudging you to do something bigger with your life, who actually says, “Sure, let me blow up my whole comfort zone real quick?” No one. But sometimes life gets so uncomfortable that staying the same feels scarier than changing. What if choosing yourself doesn’t require a dramatic leap, just an honest moment of, “Okay Universe, fine… I’m ready.” And to make this whole conversati...

When a year drags you through plot twists you never signed up for, who actually says, “Wow, what a blessing”? No one. But sometimes the moments we’d rather erase end up revealing truths we were finally ready to hear. So what if endings aren’t just for resolutions and champagne toasts… but also for releasing the heaviness, the pressure, and the stories you’ve quietly carried all year long? This wee...

When life knocks you on your butt, who actually says “thank you”? No one. But sometimes the stuff we avoid the most ends up teaching us the best lessons. So what if gratitude isn’t just for the cute, calm moments… but also for the mess, the heartbreak, and the plot twists that make you wonder if the Universe is trolling you? This week, we’re talking about real gratitude. The grown-woman kind. The...

Ever ask yourself, “Why won’t my body let this go… even when I’m doing everything right?” Because a lot times, the weight we carry isn’t physical. It’s emotional. In this episode, we explore how unprocessed emotions get stored in the body, why they show up as physical weight or stubborn symptoms, and how your nervous system plays a bigger role in your health than any diet ever could. Episode Resou...

We're talking about the lies we tell—the tiny white ones, the polite ones, and the quiet ones we whisper to ourselves just to get through the day. Because every lie—no matter how small—costs you connection. With others. And with yourself. We’re unpacking why honesty feels so hard (especially in relationships), how to speak your truth without blowing things up, and why it might be the most freeing...

We talk a lot about “moving on,” but what does that actually mean when your heart still replays the good parts like a broken Spotify loop? This week’s episode is for anyone still low-key haunted by an old love, a “what if,” or a story that should’ve ended years ago but somehow keeps sneaking into your present... Because you can't move on if you're still waiting for closure — you heal by choosing y...

“I just need more balance in my life” is the modern-day mantra for I’m one meltdown away from booking a one-way flight to Bali. ✈️ We’ve been told that if we can just balance everything — work, relationships, family, self-care — we’ll finally feel calm. But balance? That’s the real burnout. Because life isn’t meant to sit perfectly still while you juggle all the pieces. This episode is your permis...

What if forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook but finally setting yourself free? 💫 This week we’re diving into the heart-healing power of forgiveness with Grace Grossman—wellbeing coach, yoga teacher, and bestselling author of Chill Out and Cheer Up: A Ten-Step Guide.

How many nights have you laid in bed, wide awake, solving problems that don’t even exist yet? We call it “being prepared,” but really, it’s just our anxiety doing the cha-cha on repeat. You’re not solving problems—you’re just exhausting yourself in the name of control. This week, we’re getting real about worry: why it feels so addictive, what it’s really protecting you from, and how to finally bre...

🎙️Ever feel like you’ve checked all the boxes—career, family, life—and somehow you’ve gone invisible in your own story? Like people see your title, your roles, your to-do list… but not you? Yeah, that stops here. This week on Project Loving Myself, we’re calling BS on invisibility with Christina Vidovich—international speaker, podcaster, and the firestarter behind Women Getting Visible. Christina...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to keep promises to everyone else… but when it comes to yourself? Poof. Out the window. You’ll drag yourself to that 8 a.m. meeting, show up for a friend’s late-night drama, and say yes to commitments you never wanted to take on. But when it comes to your workout, an early bedtime, or precious family time? Suddenly, you’re “too busy,” “too tired,” or convincing...

The walls you built to protect your heart? They might be the very same walls keeping love out. What if the “red flag scanning,” second-guessing, and pulling away you call self-protection are actually signs that your past wounds are still making your choices for you? This week on Project Loving Myself, I’m revealing why real safety in love isn’t about hiding behind walls—it’s about discernment. And...

This week on Project Loving Myself, we’re exposing the hidden dream killers that quietly steal your vision—and showing you how to bring your dreams back to life. Joining me is transformational coach Anushree Kini, a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach and Marisa Peer C...

What if the “bad habits” you keep beating yourself up for—perfectionism, people-pleasing, second-guessing—aren’t flaws at all? What if they were actually survival strategies your younger self created to feel safe… and you’ve just been carrying them into adulthood? This week on Project Loving Myself, we’re exposing the hidden childhood roots of the patterns that shape your relationships, career, an...

🎙️What if I told you that confidence isn’t about feeling ready—it’s about showing up before you’re ready? This week on Project Loving Myself, we’re talking all things confidence (and why waiting until you “feel ready” is a trap) with Myrza Sison—confidence coach, motivational speaker, award-winning writer, former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Philippines (yep, that Cosmo), and host of the podcas...

🎙️What if real confidence isn’t about being loud, flawless, or “perfect” all the time… but about finally feeling safe to be yourself?

Gabrielle has channeled over 500 astrology readings, blending soul insight with planetary wisdom to help you d...

🎙️Here’s a life lesson they should’ve taught in school: How you treat yourself teaches others how to treat you. You’re always the one over-giving, over-apologizing, and quietly shrinking so no one else feels uncomfortable. Then one day—boom—you’re done. Burned out. Fed up with being everyone’s emotional ATM. You give and give… but somehow forget to save a little TLC for yourself. This week on Proj...
