What if you could replace a lifetime of self doubt with a daily practice of self love? So many of us, especially women over 40, struggle with the feeling that we are not enough. We put everyone else’s needs before our own and forget how to prioritize ourselves. This conversation is a powerful reminder that you are worthy of your own love and attention.

In this episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene sits down with Theresa Paganini, the founder of eLOVEate and a no-nonsense self-love mentor. Theresa shares her personal journey of overcoming self-rejection and an eating disorder to build a life of unapologetic confidence. She offers practical, actionable advice on how to build a consistent self-love practice, show up with confidence in all areas of your life, and finally break free from the patterns that are holding you back.

Here are six key takeaways from their conversation:

→ Your past is your because, not your blame. It is the reason for your journey, not an excuse to stay stuck.

→ Self-love is about prioritizing your own needs and wants. It is not selfish, it is essential.

→ We do our children a disservice when we do not trust them to be resilient and figure things out on their own.

→ When you know your worth, you will get what you are worth. Do not be afraid to ask for what you deserve.

→ Complimenting others is a simple way to make both them and you feel good. Spread love and kindness wherever you go.

→ Food loses its power when you step into your own power. When you own your emotions, you no longer need to hide behind food.

This conversation is a must-listen for any woman who is ready to stop shrinking and start living a life of authentic, unapologetic self-love.
