Rise's Episode 28 is all about self-love, a topic close to the hearts of hosts Elizabeth Vaughan and Julia Carson. In this Valentine’s Day special, they dive into the importance of nurturing and supporting ourselves, especially during challenging times. Julia opens up about her recent struggles with mental health, work stress, and the ever-looming January blues. But she doesn't let that get her down for long, thanks to the supportive and honest conversation with Liz.
Together, they explore how self-love has evolved from a concept often misunderstood as indulgence to a necessary practice of setting boundaries and self-compassion. Liz shares her journey of replacing old habits with healthier ones, like avoiding ultra-processed foods and focusing on emotional regulation techniques from DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy). The duo also discusses the commodification of self-love by the wellness industry and how it can sometimes feel overwhelming.
They advocate for a more grounded approach, emphasising evidence-based practices and personal experiences. The episode is packed with practical advice, such as recognising your strengths through positive psychology and engaging in activities that boost your mental well-being. Whether it's through gratitude journals, random acts of kindness, or simply setting aside time for yourself, Liz and Julia remind us that self-love is a journey worth embarking on. So why should you listen to this episode?
Because it's a heartfelt conversation that offers both relatable anecdotes and actionable tips to help you cultivate self-love in your own life. Give it a listen and find out how you can better support yourself through life's ups and downs.
