In this Valentine’s Day episode of Explore Beyond, Courtney reflects on what it really means to love yourself, your body, and the life you’re living right now.

So often we think we should be somewhere else, feeling something different, or accomplishing more. We judge our bodies when they are injured, judge our moods when we are not feeling great, and forget to appreciate the present moment.

Through personal stories and simple reflections, Courtney explores how self love can look like compassion instead of criticism, presence instead of pressure, and gratitude for where we are rather than where we think we should be.

In this episode, you will hear about:

How to practice self love in everyday moments
Learning to treat your body with compassion instead of frustration
Why loving the present moment changes your experience of life
How small moments can shift your mood and perspective
Ways to offer yourself kindness during difficult times

This episode is a gentle reminder that loving your life does not mean everything is perfect. It means meeting yourself where you are and choosing compassion, one moment at a time.

Whether you are spending Valentine’s Day alone, with loved ones, or somewhere in between, this conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and find one moment to fully love yourself, your body, and your life.
