I'm Shocked that People Think Self Love is Toxic to Our Culture

Wow I was shocked to learn that there are people out there that believe that self love is toxic to our culture. I can't get into their brain, but I would imagine that the people that say this have no idea that the journey of self love is a journey within and not though outside searching for things to fill the void. What prompted this podcast is me innocently stumbling upon a video interview with Allie Beth Stucky talking about her book, "You're Not Enough (And That's Okay). In all fairness I have not read the book. I honestly had no awareness of her until I ran across the interview. I was initially looking for a quote on self love and that's how I learned of this interview. I found it heart breaking that someone can spread around a very superficial perspective--and yes, I agree that outward exploration of "self love" is toxic BUT THAT'S NOT REAL SELF LOVE. It's something else. Self love is not the journey of searching out there for love. It's the journey inward, facing yourself and embracing who are you in this moment, having compassion for your journey and connecting with the inner source (God, the Universe, your inner guide, etc). That's how you wake up to this love. Maybe she was just trying to hit a hot button to sell books? Maybe she believes it?? I honestly don't care. She's allowed to have her perspective. It just makes me want to share the message of loving and embracing yourself even more--as if I needed more motivation to do so but hey, just more reason to share more love and light. PLEASE go inward, connect to your heart today. You are worthy and deserving of this loving, accepting relationship with yourself.
