Self-love is a transformative journey that requires self-reflection, growth, and a deep understanding of oneself. This episode is all about the journey of self-love and all the healing that comes with it, and I had the pleasure of having my dear friend, Sloane, as a special guest.
Sloane is a former business attorney and facilitates transformational peak experiences and retreats around the world. She leads powerful women to their fullest self-expression and power, supporting them in creating success on a legacy level - and most importantly, walking the path of feeling good consistently, and has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs in creating success and fulfilling their highest potential.
Today, Sloane shares her own journey of self-love and how it transformed her life. She beautifully emphasized the importance of being in connection with ourselves. When we truly understand and accept who we are, it becomes easier to connect with others on a deeper level. This connection with ourselves forms the foundation for meaningful relationships with others. She also shares a powerful tool called the "quantum slowdown," which encourages busy individuals to slow down, spend time with themselves, and nurture that relationship. In our busy lives, it's crucial to make time for ourselves. Just like in a relationship, if we neglect spending quality time with ourselves, the relationship suffers. Taking the time to be present with our thoughts, feelings, and desires is essential for cultivating self-love.
Sloane's personal journey to self-love and healing serves as an inspiration. She reminds us that self-love is a continuous process. It's not about reaching a destination, but rather embracing the journey and all the growth and healing that comes with it. Her journey to self-love truly shines through, and I am grateful for the beautiful conversation we had in this episode.

Memorable Quotes
"Other people aren't responsible for my happiness. Other people aren't here to make me feel better or to do things that lift me up or anything like that. And I think that was definitely a context for me in relationships in the past. The way I see it now is I'm responsible for loving myself deeply and as much and as deeply as I can and as I want to.” [00:18:33] - Sloane
"That is the pathway to actually feeling good. It's not to pretend like you don't have those things or to try to fix them and make them better. Then you can love yourself. When you allow yourself to go in all the way, that changes everything in terms of compassion and self-compassion.” [00:30:48] - Sloane
"I think this self-compassion is really a way to start to see that everybody has their life experience. Everybody has things that maybe they're not proud of or isn't the person they know they could be. Everybody's a human being, whatever we have. It makes it a lot easier to really be in connection with that and in connection with others when you're in connection with you." [00:32:32] - Sloane
