In today’s episode, Martha is going to talk to you about loving yourself just as you are. This is a very hard concept for people to come to terms with. We all tend to focus on what’s wrong with us, especially with things like addiction. You don’t have to let all of these negative things define who you are. If you don’t take care of yourself, how are you ever supposed to be there for anyone else? Life can be so much easier if you start taking the time to focus on the things that you are proud of and loving yourself. Drop the baggage and start appreciating the fantastic human being that you are!

In this episode Martha speaks about:

• Filling the void within ourselves through other people
• Replacing your bad habits with the habits of another person
• Regularly scheduling a time to take care of yourself
• What you can do daily to love yourself more
• Making amends with yourself to take the next right step
• Building our community so that the support is always there
• Why we enter certain types of relationships for escape
• What happens when you constantly give without filling up
• Setting boundaries to make relationships healthier in the long run
