Transcript
00:00So what do you feel like are some hard truths, but also some beautiful things that you have
00:05learned in your self-love journey? I think the beautiful thing and the hard truth is the same
00:12answer. And I think the hard truth is that self-love and self-acceptance is a journey
00:17and there's no end destination. It's just a lifelong process. And I think when I first started
00:23this journey to self-love and self-acceptance, I thought there was a point that you got to.
00:28And then once you got over that hump, you were good. But that's not really how it works. It's
00:33a lifelong journey, which is a beautiful thing, but it's also a hard thing because it's not a point
00:38that you can get to. And then you're good on the other side. It's a lifelong journey of accepting
00:43that you're good. What do you think helped you learn that lesson that there wasn't like a set
00:48destination? Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 30 and having to relearn myself. That's when it got real.
00:55I think that I thought I kind of knew who I was and I accepted maybe that there was things that
01:02weren't so great about me, which is fine. But getting diagnosed with ADHD at 30 kind of taught
01:09me that a lot of things that I didn't love and accept about myself, there was actually a reason
01:13for that. And I'm about to be 31. So this is something that's very recent. And so I think that
01:21going through that journey of accepting that, where I thought maybe I was already accepting myself and
01:28loving myself, taught me that it really is a journey and not just a final destination.
