A Slut's Guide To Happiness Podcast : Episode 29: Finding Self-Love When It’s Hardest - with Roxie Valentine

We all have moments in life that throw off our self-esteem, where it feels impossible to believe we’re loveable, smart, good, desirable, worthy. Those moments of self-doubt don’t go away, but we can breathe through them, lean into them, and find ways to get free on the other side. In this episode, Roxie talks about her experience of deciding to come out as a trans woman, in spite of her ex-wife’s opinions about it. In order to regain footing in her life, especially at a time when she wasn’t surrounded by queer community and had minimal support for her decision, Roxie had to embark on a journey of learning radical self-acceptance. From this experience, Roxie offers approaches to loving yourself in any tough moment of your life, including better self-talk, giving yourself grave, and practicing the golden rule inverse, that is treating yourself as you treat others.
