So you’re searching for inner peace. Or maybe just a little more calm in a world that never seems to slow down. But how do you find that still point inside yourself when the to-do list is endless, your inner critic is loud, and your mind won’t quit spinning?

That’s where today’s topic comes in: Zen. And how you can become your very own Zen Master. Yes, today on I Love Me the Podcast, we’re diving into the ancient - yet totally relevant - teachings of Zen Buddhism. Exploring how this path of simplicity, presence, and self-inquiry can lead you back to something we all long for: Friendship with ourself.

And if you think becoming a Zen master is just for monks in robes or people who can sit still for hours… don’t worry, we’re bringing it down to earth. With a whole lot of self-love.

Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:

About me…

Hi, I’m Tamra Mercieca, a Self-Love Therapist, Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, and host of I Love Me The Podcast. For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love.

In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally.

Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals.

My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session Self-Love Therapy program that now helps others do the same.

On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!
