It’s inspiring to hear how you’re embracing self-love and focusing on your own well-being. I think that’s such an important journey. Learning to be okay with your own company can be so liberating.

Focusing on self-love and setting boundaries is so empowering! I’m glad to hear you’re finding peace in that journey. Have you discovered any specific self-care practices that really resonate with you?
