When You Truly Begin to Love Yourself, 5 Sacred Shifts That Transform Your Relationships.

You glance at your partner and question why they’re even with you. When they offer a compliment, you brush it aside. When they fall silent, you assume you’ve done something wrong. When they take too long to reply to a message, your mind spirals with fears that they’re losing interest. This isn’t love—it’s living in constant anticipation of the rejection you’re certain is on its way.

Tonight, I’ll share five sacred practices that genuinely confident people use each day—not to become flawless, but to show up as their true selves, free from the exhausting armor of self-defense.
