In this soulful and practical episode of The How to Heal Podcast, host Lindsay Trimarchi Richter dives deep into what it really means to love yourself — not as a surface-level concept, but as a lived, embodied practice. Following last week’s discussion on trusting yourself, Lindsay explores how self-love starts with self-trust, presence, and honesty.

She shares powerful, down-to-earth practices to nurture love for your body and mind — from Ayurvedic self-massage and mirror work to releasing the pressure of perfection. Through stories from her own journey as a mom and healer, Lindsay reminds us that self-love isn’t about getting everything “right.” It’s about softness, forgiveness, and staying connected to your intuition, even when life feels messy.

Key Topics Covered:

• The connection between self-trust and self-love
• Daily rituals for loving your physical body (Ayurvedic oil massage, mirror work, and mindful touch)
• How to break free from perfectionism and embrace your humanity
• Listening to your body’s wisdom throughout your cycle
• The role of honesty, compassion, and integrity in self-love
• Seeing life as a mirror for your inner growth

Lindsay’s Takeaway:
Self-love isn’t found in chasing perfection — it’s built through presence, truth, and small acts of devotion to your body and spirit.
