What Is Self Love?

In this episode, I reconnect with my audience after a brief
hiatus, sharing the transformative experience of becoming a
father to my son, Leonidas Tillam Mack, who was born three months
ago. The significance of his middle name, "Tillam," which means
"new moon" in Balinese, serves as a beautiful reminder of new
beginnings and the journey of parenthood.


As a relationship coach, I delve into the essential topic of
self-love, a concept that often gets misconstrued in our society.
Many associate self-love with external indulgences—like spa days
or shopping sprees—yet I emphasize that true self-love is an
internal experience. It involves honoring our needs, boundaries,
and desires, especially in the context of our relationships with
others.

Throughout the episode, I share personal anecdotes from my
journey into fatherhood, including the guilt I initially felt
when taking time for myself. I discuss how self-care is not
selfish; rather, it allows us to show up more fully for our loved
ones. By prioritizing our well-being, we can cultivate a loving
and supportive family environment.

Join me in this heartfelt exploration of self-love, authenticity,
and the beautiful complexities of parenthood. Thank you for being
part of this journey, and I look forward to connecting with you
all again soon!
