Why Self-Love Is So Hard—and Why It Matters in Recovery

What are you really running from?

In this conversation on the Sick and Tired Recovery Podcast, I sit down with my guest who works with emotional and energy healing.

We talked about why recovery starts on the inside, and why looking outside yourself for happiness or love never feels like enough.

In this episode:

Running from yourself: relationships, work, even meetings, and what it takes to be honest about it

Why joy and love come from within, not from external things

Handling negative people by staying grounded in your own peace

The guest's view on the "scale of consciousness" and how our energy shapes what we attract

A simple daily practice: look in the mirror and say "I love you"

Self-awareness is where change begins. If this spoke to you, share it with someone on their own recovery path.

NOTE: The views shared are the guest's personal perspectives and experiences, not medical advice.
