    • Self-Love Is a Practice: Kindness, Boundaries, and Healing
      Jan 28 2026

      In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Barb welcomes back pod-friend Denise Torgerson for a powerful conversation about self-love—what it really means and why it matters at every stage of life.

      Together, they explore self-love as a daily practice rather than a destination, emphasizing kindness, tenderness, and compassion toward ourselves. Denise shares a meaningful definition of self-love, including being “on your own side,” softening the inner critic, and learning to honour your emotional, physical, and relational wellbeing.

      Denise also shares personal insights about learning to feel her feelings later in life, practicing daily meditation, and using EFT to manage anxiety and build self-acceptance. Barb and Mel reflect on how self-love supports emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of peace.

      The episode closes with a reminder that self-love is not about ego or self-indulgence—it’s about learning to treat yourself with the same care you would offer a dear friend.

      A warm, honest, and soul-enriching conversation you won’t want to miss.
