Best friends are wonderful. But even more important than having a best friend is being your own best friend. And this is something that many women struggle with, because we tend to beat ourselves up, be self-critical, and say mean things about ourselves we would never say about a friend. In today’s episode I am thrilled to bring you a conversation with Marjolein van der Kruk, who empowers women to shift from self-doubt to self-love, from feeling small to standing in their power, from being their worst enemy to embracing their whole true self. Marjolein and I talk about:

  • How her journey to become her own BFF began
  • Marjolein’s definition of self-love
  • Understanding and embracing our emotions
  • Our inner critics
  • Arrogance versus confidence
  • First steps to self-love: awareness and self-compassion
  • What holds most women back from being their own BFF
  • How her experience with and expertise in self-love informs her parenting
