Self Love Lessons: Ep 1-Love languages
We're starting a special series on self love because self love is the foundation of all things in life. I'm here to help guide and advise you with some of my personal self love methods and techniques that helped me on my journey. Self love and self-care is highly important because you have to be there for yourself before you can be there for others, and it's seriously the foundation of all things.
How to love yourself via Love Language:
