    Self love is a word we hear a lot these days but what does it actually mean? Having a bubble bath while sipping some wine?.. Face masks?... Maybe a massage? There's a certain image that comes to mind because this word has become commoditized and tied to an aesthetic which adds to the vague nature of what it means. However, when we get to know the deeper implications of self love and the true meaning, we hold the very thing that unlocks our ability to reach our full potential. Understanding the magnitude of what it means to love yourself, and putting in the work transforms your life. When we show up in this world with our greatest potential, we become unstoppable and live a fulfilling life that we won't have to go on vacation from to be happy. Self love ties us to our inner purpose and gives us the gift of living the kind of life we've always wanted.
