Let’s Talk About Love
Episode Summary:
It’s Valentine’s Day! And I’m going to give you some truths and myths about love. Love can be messy, and love can be carefree bliss. But before we dive into the deep end, I have a personal and professional update to share with you.
Show Notes:
It’s Valentine’s Day! And I’m going to break down some myths about love. Love can be carefree bliss, but it can also be messy and complicated to navigate.
Love is a feeling, an emotion, and an overall choice. It’s something we nurture and grow through our thoughts. Contrary to popular belief, self-love is not rooted in arrogance or narcissism. In this episode, I am debunking common misconceptions and sharing ways to hold love even closer than before.
By the end of this episode, I encourage you to start with self-love. Make a list about loving yourself for 30 days to help alter your misgivings of love in general and see where it takes you. I hope you indulge in the feeling of love more often and grow with me as I begin my next journey in podcasting.

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.
