Ready for some unfiltered truth about self-love? Forget the Instagram-worthy bubble baths and calming candles—this episode tears down the facade of performative self-care to reveal what loving yourself actually requires.

Self-love isn't a vibe or an aesthetic—it's a practice built on radical honesty and keeping promises to yourself. When you post about "boundaries" but still answer texts from people who drain you, when you claim to deserve better but continue settling, you're not practicing self-love—you're lying to yourself.

True self-respect requires four essential elements: radical honesty about your habits and choices, keeping your word to yourself (because if you don't trust you, why should anyone else?), knowing when to walk away even from people you love, and creating internal safety rather than seeking validation from outside sources. These aren't comfortable practices, but they build the foundation for genuine confidence.

The episode provides practical habits you can implement immediately, including making a daily non-negotiable list (pick just one promise and keep it), speaking to yourself with respect, doing something inconvenient that honors your future self, and tracking the gap between what you want versus what you tolerate. Self-love isn't built on dopamine hits—it's forged in moments of discomfort and difficult choices.

Your new mantra? "I am no longer abandoning myself just to make other people comfortable. I trust myself to keep my word. I will stop shrinking into smaller spaces that I've outgrown." Because genuine self-love isn't soft—it's fierce, and it's about choosing yourself over and over until it becomes second nature. Ready to stop abandoning yourself? This episode shows you how.

When Susie Hewson watched a TV program about chlorine bleaching in paper products in 1989, she never imagined it would launch a 35-year journey revolutionizing feminine hygiene. As founder of Natracare, Susie transformed an industry by creating certified organic, compostable period products free from toxins and plastics at a time when women entrepreneurs faced extraordinary barriers.

The environmental impact is striking—Natracare customers prevent plastic equivalent to a blue whale from entering marine environments annually just by choosing sustainable products. But Susie's fight extended beyond creating alternatives; she faced corporate lawyers attempting to silence her advocacy and banks refusing loans to women entrepreneurs. Through persistence and unwavering integrity, she built a company embodying her personal values while educating consumers about hidden dangers in conventional products.

Particularly alarming is Susie's revelation about regulatory oversight—agencies like the FDA don't conduct independent research but rely on industry-provided data to determine product safety. This explains why harmful ingredients remain on shelves for decades before being recognized as dangerous. She urges consumers to look beyond marketing claims for legitimate certifications like the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), warning specifically about "bamboo" products that undergo toxic processing despite eco-friendly marketing.

At 72, Susie embodies the benefits of conscious living with "the cardiovascular system of a 35-year-old." Her journey demonstrates how one person's determination can create lasting change, not just in an industry but in how we approach our health and environmental impact. Through Natracare's "Be Kind" project and commitment to donating 1% of turnover to environmental causes, she reminds us that meaningful impact often starts with simple, thoughtful choices.

What happens when life forces you to take a hard look at what really matters? Sometimes it takes an extreme situation to push you toward an authentic path.

After watching my daughter become the target of cruel bullying about her late father, I made the decision many parents dream of but few execute - pulling her from school to create a life on our own terms. Combined with my recent bipolar diagnosis, this wake-up call inspired the purchase of a camper and a journey to the beautiful Ozarks that would change our perspective on what life could be.

My coaching philosophy of "getting paid to exist" comes to life through stories from the road. It's not about passive income or trendy hustle culture - it's about aligning your income with activities you would do regardless of financial compensation. Throughout this raw conversation, I share how capturing authentic content for clients (like documenting a beautiful Reiki session between my client and my daughter) represents the antidote to the overly curated social media landscape we're drowning in.

The episode culminates with my exciting announcement: joining She Heals the World as their newest business coach, a globally recognized organization with 15 years in the coaching industry. This opportunity validates my unconventional approach and opens doors to help more women build businesses aligned with their authentic selves.

If you're tired of curated content and craving authenticity in your life and business, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insights. Share this episode with a friend who needs permission to create a life and business that feels aligned with their true self!
