What does it truly mean to take loving care of yourself without guilt?

In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores the profound difference between surface-level self-care and deep emotional self-responsibility. Moving beyond spa days and external fixes, she invites you into a compassionate understanding of emotional self-care—learning to listen inwardly, honor your feelings, and respond to your inner needs with love rather than judgment.

Dr. Paul explains how tuning into your feelings allows you to recognize when you’re abandoning yourself and how guilt, anxiety, depression, and shame often signal a call for deeper self-attunement. Through the lens of the Inner Bonding® process, she reveals why loving yourself is not selfish, but essential for healthy relationships, emotional fulfillment, and authentic connection with others.
