How full is your self-love tank? Is it running on empty, where you feel like you’re constantly on the verge of breaking down? Or do you know how to say Yes to yourself - how to make yourself a priority?
 
When we’re willing to give to ourself first, our love tank overflows, and only then can we truely give to those around us.
 
In today’s episode on I Love Me The Podcast, we explore why it’s absolutely essential that YOU, are at the top of your priority list.

About me…
 
My name is Tamra Mercieca and I’ve been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.
 
While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I’m known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I’m the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.
 
Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

20 Journaling. The cheapest therapy around!

Journaling is a beautiful, and ridiculously cheap way of processing challenges and traumas, and simply making sense of life.
 
I consider journaling like emptying out the mind-trash that drains our energy, keeps us in an anxious state and stops us from being able to sleep at night. Because that’s essentially what it is.  You get a pen and blank journal and you write.  And then write some more.
 
In today’s episode on I Love Me The Podcast, I share why journaling has been such a big part of my life, why you might like to invite it into your life… and tips and tools to get the most out of your journalling practice.

19 Your purpose is being YOU!

At some point in life, there comes a time when we feel the need to discover our purpose. And at this time, we may start to ask ourselves deep questions like:
 
What am I here for?
What is the meaning of life?
How do I be true to who I am?
 
And in these questions lies the answer…
 
I am here to be me. I am here to get to know myself, and express myself, as I am internally called. For your true one purpose in life, is to be YOU! Completely and unapologetically YOU.
 
Today on I Love Me The Podcast we explore what it looks and feels like to live your purpose.

18 Fear of failure keeping you from loving yourself?

What if you knew you couldn’t fail? How would that change the way you behave, the decisions you make, the way of you treat people, and how you show up in life?
 
Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we learn how failing is a myth, and how our so-called ‘mistakes’ are actually learning experiences in disguise.

17 Are you really comfy sitting in your comfort zone?

We all like to feel comfy, right? It can give us a sense of safety and predictability. But what happens if the place we feel comfy, isn’t serving us?
 
What if that comfortable feeling we get from doing the same things we’ve always done, is actually holding us back? Getting in the way of our dreams. Halting our growth. And in doing so, minimising our ability to love ourself.
 
Today on I Love Me The Podcast I’ll be sharing the one thing you need to know, so you feel comfortable moving out of your comfort zone.

16 Womb care 101: Why tampons are not self-loving.

Did you know that prior to menopause a woman’s womb cleanses itself once a month? You may know this as a woman’s ‘period’.
 
Problem is, most of us ladies have learnt to adopt habits and behaviours that get in the way of this all-important ‘womb cleanse’. And when a womb doesn’t get the chance to cleanse itself regularly, we create a breeding ground for menstrual difficulties and gynaecological issues… some serious…
 
Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I’ll be sharing how your womb cleanses itself, and what you may be doing that could be getting in the way of that cleanse. By the end of this episode you’ll have the awareness and insights you need to start cleaning up your pelvis, so you can experience more easeful periods and vibrant pelvic health.

15 Vulnerability; the cornerstone of self-love and deeper relationships.

Being vulnerable, for most of us, is scary. It can quite literally petrify the knickers off us, for fear of being attacked or ridiculed. But the truth is, without being vulnerable, we limit the depth of our relationships. Our relationship with others, as well as our relationship with ourself.
 
Being willing to sit with ourself and love ourself in our most vulnerable moments… that takes courage. But when we’re willing to do so, we open the door to a whole new level of self-love. And when we’re willing to get vulnerable with another person, it gives the other person a chance to hold space for us, to show their unconditional love for us, and in doing so, build trust and communication so we can enjoy a far deeper bond.
 
Today on I Love Me the Podcast, we’ll be talking about this all important V-word… vulnerability. And how vulnerability is our superpower when it comes to establishing long lasting, meaningful relationships.

14 Feelings: Fall in love with feeling yourself.

In order to heal ourself, we need to feel ourself. And when I say feel ourself, I mean actually be with ourself long enough to feel our feelings and emotions.
 
Because we all have them. Feelings and emotions are part of the human experience. And when we make friends with how we truely feel, when we let ourself feel our emotions… only then we can release them.
 
Today on I Love Me The Podcast, I’ll share how repressing our emotions can make us mentally and physically unwell, and then I’ll offer you a way of unpacking your old emotions, so you can learn how to process your feelings in the present moment.

12 How dating myself led to my Prince!

OK, so I have a confession to make: I am a total romantic. I am in love with love stories.  Real life love stories. So it’ll come as no surprise that in my 20s, one of the big things on my mind, was meeting my Prince, and living happily ever after.
 
But let’s just say by the time I hit 30, I wasn’t having much luck with men. In fact, after dating non-stop for many years, I was still kissing toads, and starting to lose faith. That’s when I knew I needed a new approach. That’s when I needed to try something radically different. That’s when I decided to start dating ME!
 
Today on I Love Me the Podcast, I’ll share how dating ‘myself’ invited me into a new way of loving myself. A new way of accepting myself. And a new way of being with myself. A way that, for the first time in my life, allowed me to feel whole and complete, just as I am. And how it was ‘dating’ myself, that led to my Prince.
