Feeling Loveable 

Episode Summary: 

What if I told you that feeling lovable only comes from within you? This concept has been integral to my own growth journey, and in this episode, I share how you can deepen your understanding of lovability. 

Show Notes:

When people say they want to feel happier or less stuck, it’s oftentimes wrapped up with the desire to feel lovable, valuable, and worthy. The problem is, we usually attribute those feelings to something outside of ourselves. I’ll be lovable if I lose weight. I’ll be valuable if I get married. I’ll be worthy if I buy a big house. The list of “if” statements that we create for ourselves goes on and on. 

What if I told you that feeling lovable only comes from within you? This concept has been integral to my own growth journey, and in this episode, I share how you can deepen your understanding of lovability. 

If you’re feeling like being lovable is just outside your reach, it’s because you’re having that thought about it. Everyone is worthy and capable of love, which is one of the most beautiful parts of the human experience. It takes time to unpack and deprogram these deeply ingrained beliefs that we have about our worthiness, but if you can engage with the process, I promise that it’s worth it. 

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

  • How common it is to feel unlovable or unworthy, and why so many people struggle with those thought patterns 

  • Tools to process the belief systems that make you feel unlovable

  • My personal experience with working through my feelings around my value and ability to be loved 

  • Tuning in to the emotional shift or the bodily feeling to know if you actually believe a thought or not

About Your Host

I’m Cecelia, and I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live and feel how they want to feel in their life. We do this together using mindset tools, nervous system regulation, and curious inquiry. I know that enjoying your life, feeling calm and even joyful is available to you.

If you’re ready to start right now, grab a recent workshop replay here on creating momentum.

Personally, I manifest in many ways- partner, mother, coach, sister, friend, daughter, citizen, feminist. I live with my husband and children way downeast Maine on a little bridge-connected island (after spending my first 35 years in cities). It’s beautiful here with the ocean and the wind.

I help my clients make big and small changes in life one step at a time.

No matter what’s happening in your life right now, I know you can feel different. I know that by working with your brain and nervous system, you can feel calm, content, joyful, AND you can still go after the big and small goals in your life (getting there will just feel different).

This process is simple and approachable.

You’re probably thinking- but it won’t work for me. I’ve tried it all or I was recently diagnosed with ADHD or I’m too old. But I promise, if you’re open to it, this work is not only transformative but suited for so many different kinds of people and brains.
