If you’re someone who’s always put others first—maybe you’ve been called a “people pleaser,” or you feel guilty even thinking about your own needs—this episode is for you. Belle joins Marianna Clark, founder of Travel Within Retreats, for a conversation about what it really means to lean into the discomfort of self-love. Together, they explore how honouring that quiet voice inside, even when it feels selfish or uncomfortable, is actually the most loving thing you can do for yourself—and for those around you.
