Hello Beautiful Human,
Sending you a massive hug today x
Following on from my previous blog post, I really wanted to go deeper into healing low self-worth and low self-love. These feelings often stem from past experiences, where hurtful words or actions from others left us questioning our value. The journey to reclaiming your worth starts by nurturing your inner child—the part of you that still carries the pain of those moments.
Imagine being ten years old and hearing your brother say, “Mom and Dad didn’t love you. They never wanted you.” It cuts deep, especially if you’ve sensed their distance lately. Maybe they were overwhelmed, balancing work and life, but to your young heart, it felt like rejection. You start gathering evidence to support this belief: your mom talking over you at a party, your dad saying he needed a weekend away, and asking you to do chores instead of spending quality time with you. You become an overachiever, striving for their love and trust, thinking you have to earn it.
This cycle can carry into adulthood, leading you to attract relationships where you feel you must “make” someone love you or constantly prove your worth.
When I talk about self-love, it’s about revisiting these childhood situations and showering that inner child with all the love they deserve. You know better than anyone what they need. True self-love is acknowledging and witnessing the wounds you carry, being the nurturing parent to your younger self. It’s not about judgment; it’s about loving the heck out of that cute kid version of you.
Healing takes time, but as you choose to shower your inner child with love, you can break free from those old beliefs and cultivate a profound sense of self-worth. You are worthy of love, always.
I Love You,
Em x
