I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca

Journaling is a beautiful, and ridiculously cheap way of processing challenges and traumas, and simply making sense of life.   I consider journaling like emptying out the mind-trash that drains our energy, keeps us in an anxious state and stops us from being able to sleep at night. Because that’s essentially what it is.  You get a pen and blank journal and you write.  And then write some more.   I...

At some point in life, there comes a time when we feel the need to discover our purpose. And at this time, we may start to ask ourselves deep questions like:   What am I here for? What is the meaning of life? How do I be true to who I am?   And in these questions lies the answer…   I am here to be me. I am here to get to know myself, and express myself, as I am internally called. For your true one...

What if you knew you couldn’t fail? How would that change the way you behave, the decisions you make, the way of you treat people, and how you show up in life?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we learn how failing is a myth, and how our so-called ‘mistakes’ are actually learning experiences in disguise.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   ht...

We all like to feel comfy, right? It can give us a sense of safety and predictability. But what happens if the place we feel comfy, isn’t serving us?   What if that comfortable feeling we get from doing the same things we’ve always done, is actually holding us back? Getting in the way of our dreams. Halting our growth. And in doing so, minimising our ability to love ourself.   Today on I Love Me T...

Did you know that prior to menopause a woman’s womb cleanses itself once a month? You may know this as a woman’s ‘period’.   Problem is, most of us ladies have learnt to adopt habits and behaviours that get in the way of this all-important ‘womb cleanse’. And when a womb doesn’t get the chance to cleanse itself regularly, we create a breeding ground for menstrual difficulties and gynaecological is...

Being vulnerable, for most of us, is scary. It can quite literally petrify the knickers off us, for fear of being attacked or ridiculed. But the truth is, without being vulnerable, we limit the depth of our relationships. Our relationship with others, as well as our relationship with ourself.   Being willing to sit with ourself and love ourself in our most vulnerable moments… that takes courage. B...

In order to heal ourself, we need to feel ourself. And when I say feel ourself, I mean actually be with ourself long enough to feel our feelings and emotions.   Because we all have them. Feelings and emotions are part of the human experience. And when we make friends with how we truely feel, when we let ourself feel our emotions… only then we can release them.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I’l...

You know those pesky thoughts that play on repeat making you feel bad about yourself… The ones that bring down your self-love, self-worth and self-respect…   Well… you don’t have to have those thoughts playing on repeat anymore. In fact, you can become a self-talk editor, and choose the thoughts the have. Yes, you can edit out your negative self-talk, and today on I Love Me The Podcast, I teach yo...

OK, so I have a confession to make: I am a total romantic. I am in love with love stories.  Real life love stories. So it’ll come as no surprise that in my 20s, one of the big things on my mind, was meeting my Prince, and living happily ever after.   But let’s just say by the time I hit 30, I wasn’t having much luck with men. In fact, after dating non-stop for many years, I was still kissing toads...

You know what it’s like to be in a relationship where the other person is hot one minute, cold the next. It doesn’t feel that warm or fuzzy, does it?   Well, this is often how people are with themselves. They have this on-again off-again relationship. One minute they’re supporting themselves full out - doing all their self-care practises and speaking kindly of themselves -  the next they’re bombar...

If you’ve ever tried to create change in your life, even just a small change such as learning something new… then chances are you’ve probably experienced at least a little self-sabotage.   Self-sabotage is where we either consciously or more commonly, unconsciously, act and behave in a way that prevents us from reaching our goals or achieving the results we want.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast,...

Nagging never works. In fact, if you do it enough, you’ll simply be met with a fire-works display of disdain and negativity or maybe a cold shoulder.   So how do you get people to pick up their game? How do you lovingly encourage them to actually do what you’re asking of them? To take your advice on board?   You offer them a Love Sandwich.   In today’s episode of I Love Me The Podcast, I share how...

Relationships can be tricky at times, especially when the other person isn’t treating us the way we wish to be treated.  When they act and behave in ways that make us feel ‘less than’ or undervalued - when people bully us - this feels just plain awful.  But what if you could teach the people around you how to treat you?   In today's episode on I Love Me The Podcast you'll learn how to reflect on t...

For a long time relationships confused and baffled me, upset and hurt me, left me and abandoned me… and then one day… I learnt what I’m going to share with you today.   The following teaching is what completely transformed my experience with relationships; my relationship as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter, as a friend and as a colleague.   I now live in beautiful harmony with my gorgeous husba...

The emotion of anger often receives a bad rap, especially when it’s expressed outwardly in a very fiery, and often explosive kinda way.   But what if we could use anger to support our growth? What if anger had a very clear purpose, and when understood, could be expressed in a really ‘healthy’ way? A way that helps us deepen our love for ourself?   In today’s episode on I Love Me The Podcast, we un...

We all have mixed relationships and feelings about surfing the crimson wave. But what if we treated menstruation as a time where we got to retreat from the world, so we can rest, restore and replenish?   What if having our period became a time we looked forward to; a mini-monthly vacation to drop the load and relax into our own feminine essence?   Ahead of International Women's Day tomorrow, today...

Today I’d like to introduce you to the most inspiring person in the world. I actually entered into a conscious relationship with this person 15 years ago.   This person has completely transformed my life. And I know this person will do the same for you.   Who is this mysterious person I speak of, on today’s episode of I Love Me The Podcast? Our True Self.   Check out the full episode show notes (a...

If you had a tool that could help you rise above anxiety, fear, and all sorts of negative emotions.   If you had a tool that created an inner state of calm… If you had a tool that could help you listen more easily to that inner voice of love…   Would you use it? If all it took was 5 minutes or less?   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I share with you my number 1 tool for cultivating self-love.   Ch...

Ever wondered why some people find life easy, and others struggle?   Or why some people just exude confidence? While others, well… they’d rather hide behind a great big elephant than walk into a room of strangers   How a person acts and feels about themselves doesn’t happen by accident.   As a child we are quite literally programmed for a certain experience of life.   But as I share in today’s epi...

Self-Love is the act of making friends with oneself.   Showing oneself kindness and compassion, listening to that inner voice of wisdom over the loud noise of the mind.   It’s a minute-by-minute, day-by-day practice of accepting ourself - showing ourself unconditional love - regardless of our actions or behaviours or current life circumstances.   On today’s episode of I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca...
