Affirmation Pod - The #1 Affirmations Podcast!
You Are Worthy
Feeling down about yourself? Struggling with setting boundaries? Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present?
Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes!
But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.
Welcome to Premium Access!
I'd recommend listening to affirmations. You can repeat them or you can just take them in as you listen. Affirmation Pod are short, effective and Josie's voice is so soothing!
