This was a tough episode to title! Dr Aguirre and I talk about tricky things like self-hatred but also keep a bright light on hope. He shares many examples and analogies that will make you feel seen and heard, possibly taking away some of the internal friction you feel in facing the complexities of life. Dr. Aguirre's new book, " I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Hatred and Realize Why You’re Wrong About You " is a game-changer, and I hope it offers you tools and perspectives to challenge your thinking and create new love for yourself!

Our conversation explores why challenges with executive function can cause negative feeling about yourself and what to do with them. I think you'll love it!

All my love,
