🎧 Description:

In this heartfelt episode, I share the inspiring story of my youngest client ever — a 13-year-old young woman on the cusp of high school. What started with her reading My Self Care Sht: The Workbook* turned into some of the deepest, most powerful conversations I've ever had as a coach.

Together, we explore how early experiences with friendship, bullying, people-pleasing, and boundary-setting shape us—and why healing from codependency isn't just adult work. It's essential for our kids too. This conversation reignited my passion to share these lessons far and wide, not just for adults doing the work, but for the next generation who deserve a more authentic, self-loving life from the very start.

If you've ever questioned whether the healing you're doing is making a difference, this episode will remind you: it absolutely is.

📝 Show Notes:

In this episode, I talk about:

• How my relationship with my youngest client, a 13-year-old girl, began through My Self Care Sht: The Workbook*.
• The powerful moment she shared her experience with toxic friendships — and how it reflected deep emotional wisdom at a young age.
• Why teaching self-love, boundaries, and emotional healing early can change the entire trajectory of a life.
• My own struggles with starting this podcast and how this young woman inspired me to finally hit "record."
• A reminder that healing is not just for us—it's for those who come after us, too.
• Why learning to protect, defend, and love yourself like you would a small child is one of the greatest acts of self-care.

Takeaway:
Whether you're doing the inner work as an adult or you're just beginning your journey as a young person, remember: the struggles, emotions, and healing paths we walk are universal—and we have so much to learn from each other.

Sande Golgart opens up about his personal transformation, revealing the importance of releasing control, embracing vulnerability, and cultivating awareness. This conversation is a deep dive into how we can all learn to be more present, take better care of ourselves, and live more freely.

Show Notes:
Kathy Love chats with Sande Golgart, a coach and friend who has helped her take the leap in launching her podcast and in her personal growth. Sandy shares the profound journey he's been on, discovering how to balance his masculine energy—traditionally focused on achievement and doing—with the softer, more receptive aspects of his feminine energy. The conversation explores themes of self-care, awareness, and personal transformation.

3 Main Takeaways:

1. Masculine and Feminine Energy Balance: The importance of finding harmony between the driven, task-oriented masculine energy and the nurturing, receptive feminine energy. This balance can create a more holistic and fulfilling life.
2. The Power of Awareness and Vulnerability: Sandy emphasizes that personal growth is driven by cultivating awareness. By acknowledging and embracing vulnerabilities, we free ourselves from limiting stories and fears that prevent us from reaching our potential.
3. Living from a Place of 'Enough': True fulfillment comes from understanding that we are already enough as we are. By shedding societal pressures and limiting beliefs, we can approach life with gratitude and create meaningful experiences from a place of self-love.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to transform their approach to life and self-care, unlocking their full potential by embracing both energies within themselves.

Welcome to the first episode of My Self-Care Shit, the podcast where we dive deep into what true self-care really looks like—and it’s not just about bubble baths and massages. I’m your host, Kathy Love, and this is the beginning of a journey we’re going to take together. In this first episode, I talk about how I finally hit record after months of procrastination, the journey that led me to truly understand self-care, and why it’s so much more than the clichés we often hear. I’ll share how small, simple practices changed everything for me. Each week, we’ll explore a new aspect of self-care and learn how to make it our own—whether that’s through journaling, setting boundaries, or learning to listen to our true needs. This is just the beginning, so I’m glad you’re here.

In this episode, Kathy shares:

• Overcoming Procrastination: Kathy discusses the delay in starting her podcast, the fear of getting it perfect, and how she finally decided to stop waiting and just hit record.
• What Self-Care Really Is: Kathy talks about how she initially misunderstood self-care and how, through trial and error, she discovered what it truly means to take care of herself—focusing on simple, accessible actions that made a real difference.
• Reconnecting with You: Kathy shares her personal experience with reconnecting with herself, and how self-care is about discovering what you need to feel peaceful, healthy, and whole.
• Finding What Works for You: This episode emphasizes the idea that self-care is a journey. Kathy explores how she made a list of things that made her feel peaceful and happy, which eventually became My Self-Care Shit: The Workbook.
• The Importance of Knowing Yourself: One of the biggest lessons Kathy has learned is that self-care is about knowing who you are, what you need, and what you want, which often means learning to prioritize yourself after years of putting others first.

Key Takeaways:

• Self-care is a practice of reconnecting with yourself, not just pampering yourself.
• Learning to be alone and embrace stillness is a huge part of self-care.
• Self-care can be simple, cost-effective, and accessible—it's all about finding what works for you.
• It's normal to struggle with self-care. The important part is the willingness to keep searching for what resonates with you.
