This is a life-changing book about how to self-nurture ourselves from the past, transform our relationship patterns, and come home to ourselves. These are all difficult things to do. However, Sheleana shows us how to do this, step-by-step.
Romantic relationships can infuse our lives with the magic of intimacy and connection if they are healthy. But for many of us, the magic if fleeting. We keep hitting the same walls in love, attracting unavailable or avoidant partners, or repeating patterns that leave us heartbroken. This can lead to low self-esteem and stress, as well as anxiety.
In this book, Sheleana offers a roadmap for transforming our relationship patterns with others. We must start by building a loving relationship with ourselves to end the cycle of self-abandonment. After reading this book, you will have learned how to challenge your core beliefs about love, recognize red and green flags, practice inner child healing, set self-affirming boundaries, and show up authentically in your relationships.
We all want to find love. However, we can’t love others unless we love ourselves first. To do so, we have to self-nurture ourselves from the inside-out. To build a healthy bond with others, we must first stand wholeheartedly in self-acceptance. This book is an invitation to find your way home to yourself.
One of the most important parts of this book is the section on how to self-soothe. Developing how to self-soothe is key to healing ourselves. It’s not about pushing others away or being ultra-independent. It’s about learning how to take ownership of our internal reality. This is what empowers us to know what we need and ask for support from people who can really be there for us.
Self-soothing is empowr4ing because we learn how to understand and support ourselves. We know how to hold ourselves in love by slowing down and listening to our body and communicating with our inner child.
