Self-love helps you attract what you desire. Confidence helps you claim it. 

One thing comes before the other before success.

Self-love helps you raise what you believe you deserve, but confidence "the sureness of self and that self-value is actually the thing that helps you turn that self-love into action to claim it.

You need both - one before the other. Do them both at the same time,...

𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀! I didn’t realize that five short verbs combined as a way to understand your relationships would hit as it did!

After my segment on CTV Your Morning yesterday (previous post), I got DMs and private messages all around my social media sharing how you loved the simple reminder to assess the people you have in your life.
