A lesson on self-love and reconnection | Lineage Lessons

Self-love is not something most of us were taught. It was something we had to find our way back to. In this episode of Lineage Lessons, we get into what self-love actually means to us, not the version sold to us on social media, but the kind that requires you to sit with yourself honestly and choose yourself anyway. We talk about how our reconnection with each other began with us individually doing the hard work of finding love for ourselves first, and how that changed everything. We also draw an important distinction between self-love and self-care, because they are not the same thing, and conflating them can keep us stuck. Also, we go deeper into how the systems and structures we were raised in were never designed to help us love ourselves wholly. This conversation is for every mother, every daughter, and every woman who has ever had to unlearn something in order to find herself. 📖 Books we referenced: A Will to Change: Bell Hooks The Body Is Not an Apology: Sonya Renée Taylor ‪@SonyaReneeTaylorRadical‬ And a special note: the stunning artwork you see behind us was created by the incredibly talented @marcallen.theartist 🎨 Go show that page some love. #SelfLove #MotherDaughterPodcast #DecolonizeYourMind #BlackWomenHealing #SelfLoveJourney #BellHooks #TheBodyIsNotAnApology #SonyaReneeTaylor #Unlearning #MotherDaughter #HealingGenerations #SelfCareVsSelfLove #WomensWellness #PodcastForWomen #BlackMothers #GenerationalHealing #AuthenticSelfLove #FindYourself #WomenEmpowerment
