In this episode we explore the notion of self love, exploring its various definitions in contemporary media and throughout history. Here, we question the purpose of self love, and what it truly means today. From capitalistic marketing campaigns, to an undefined movement of “growth” and “glowing up” we dissect the idea of using self-love almost in a religious way. As usual, thanks for listening!
