In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a deeply personal experience—my recent explant surgery—and how I supported myself emotionally, energetically, and physically throughout the process. We often show up for our friends with patience and kindness, but when it comes to ourselves, we tend to be our harshest critics. This episode is about flipping that script and embracing self-friendliness.

Inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert’s concept of being a friend to yourself, we’ll explore how this gentle approach can transform your healing journey. Whether you’re navigating something as big as surgery or just dealing with the ups and downs of everyday life, being kind to yourself is a powerful tool.

I’ll share how self-friendliness helped me prepare emotionally for surgery, reconnect with my body, and heal old wounds—both physical and spiritual. We’ll talk about how this concept can change your inner dialogue, help you find compassion for your own struggles, and create a foundation for deeper self-love.

By the end of this episode, I hope you’ll feel inspired to check in with yourself and start treating yourself with the same care and understanding you would offer to a dear friend. Let’s walk this path together.

Key Takeaways:
What it means to be your own friend
The difference between self-friendliness and self-love
How emotional, physical, and spiritual healing are intertwined
Practical steps to start showing yourself kindness during tough times
A personal story of preparing for and recovering from explant surgery
