If you’ve ever struggled to love yourself— especially in the moments when you feel unworthy, lost, or disconnected— this conversation is for you.
Today, we sit down with psychotherapist and spiritual teacher Dorothy Zennuriye Juno to talk about why self-love can feel so far away, especially for those who are always showing up for others, and what it really looks like to return to yourself with honesty and care.
Through a blend of therapeutic insight, spiritual wisdom, and everyday tools, Dorothy invites us to stop abandoning ourselves, live in alignment with who we are, and access the peace that comes from honoring ourselves.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
🧠 Why self-love feels so hard—even when you’ve done the inner work
🔄 The hidden reason we lose ourselves in relationships, roles, and routines
💗 How to practice radical kindness when you feel unworthy, ashamed, or stuck
💡 A reframe that turns “selfish” into self-honoring (and why it changes everything)
🛠️ Daily tools to rebuild confidence, peace, and emotional resilience
✨ How to access your inner wisdom—so decision-making feels easier and lighter
🔮 What real spirituality looks like (even if you don’t identify as “spiritual”)
If you’ve forgotten how to love yourself, this episode will remind you how—one honest, heart-led step at a time.
