soft girl summer: community, connection + softness [finding your people]

click here to tell us how this landed for you ❤️ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2229970/fan_mail/new] hello, hello, + welcome  to soft girl self-love summer. 🤍 it's july, we're officially in quarter three, and this month's theme is community, connection, and softness. this episode is your invitation to slow down and lean into the season- friendship, relaxation, doing things just because they're fun. we talk about why softness is not a weakness (and how you can be strong, independent and soft, connected, supported- it was never either/or), plus the real reason so many of us feel disconnected lately, and why it might not mean what you think it does. i'm also getting honest about my own friendship season- including a loss that taught me a lot and how real community actually gets built: through proximity, consistency, and being brave enough to make the first move. you don't need a huge circle or to change who you are. you just need to find your real people. so consider this your nudge: put your phone down, say yes to the invite, be the first one to plan something. this is your soft girl summer. 🌸 📖 our july self love book club read is Finding Your People by Alexandra and Sally of Two Broke Chicks:  grab it here [https://www.amazon.com/shop/beautybyjulia/photo/amzn1.shoppablemedia.v1.7844cd0f-bda4-40ea-a9d4-b81019f3f35d?ref_=aipsfphoto] and read along with us free on the fable app [http://www.fable.co/club/self-love-book-club-with-julia-salvia-253242412359] 🎧 new episodes every Sunday at 12PM EST. next week: a special guest episode with author Philippa Found (It's Complicated). i love you, and this soft new version of you, to the moon and back. 🌸 connect with julia on instagram @beautybyjulia [http://www.instagram.com/beautybyjulia] + tik tok @juliasalvia [http://www.tiktok.com/@juliasalvia] unlock more archive content on instagram @theselflovearchive [http://www.instagram.com/theselflovearchive] + tik tok @theselflovearchives [http://www.tiktok.com/@theselflovearchives] sign up for the self-love archives newsletter: www.theselflovearchives.com [http://www.theselflovearchives.com]

you are not too much [you were just taught to shrink] | june self-love book club

click here to tell us how this landed for you ❤️ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2229970/fan_mail/new] have you ever been told you're too much? too loud, too sensitive, too emotional, too intense… too you? 🤍 i want you to sit with this for a second: were you ever actually too much- or did you just learn to tame yourself to be easier for everyone else to love? this week on the self love archives podcast, we're closing out June and our theme of impressing your inner child with our book club read, Untamed by Glennon Doyle. we talk about the invisible cage we were all put in, built from other people's expectations, insecurities, and discomfort and how the girl who got called "too much" never disappeared- she just got quiet. i'm getting honest about my own untaming: years of letting people walk all over me, and finally choosing to break out of the cage and be irrevocably myself. we get into going inward to find your own voice again, why you can do hard things (your pain is a passage, not a permanent place), and the one question that changes everything- not "what does everyone expect of me?" but "what is the truest, most beautiful thing i can imagine?" because you are not too much. you never were. they were just not enough to hold all of you. 🎧 new episodes every Sunday at 12PM EST 📖 grab Untamed by Glennon Doyle [https://www.amazon.com/shop/beautybyjulia/photo/amzn1.shoppablemedia.v1.cca12c0c-fb5a-4ae3-8abb-e862d6b2450c?ref_=aipsfphoto] 📕 and join our free self love book club community [https://fable.co/club/self-love-book-club-with-julia-salvia-253242412359] on the fable app connect with julia on instagram @beautybyjulia [http://www.instagram.com/beautybyjulia] + tik tok @juliasalvia [http://www.tiktok.com/@juliasalvia] unlock more archive content on instagram @theselflovearchive [http://www.instagram.com/theselflovearchive] + tik tok @theselflovearchives [http://www.tiktok.com/@theselflovearchives] sign up for the self-love archives newsletter: www.theselflovearchives.com [http://www.theselflovearchives.com]

why "happily ever after" is a lie [and real love is so much better]

click here to tell us how this landed for you ❤️ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2229970/fan_mail/new] we all grew up watching the same movie- the prince, the kiss, the credits, the happily ever after. 🤍 but no one ever showed us part two. no one told us what real love actually looks like after the credits roll. this week on the self love archives, i'm getting honest about the fairy tale lie: how growing up on disney and "happily ever after" quietly set us up to expect love to be perfect, effortless, and low-effort- and why that expectation keeps so many of us stuck. (i'm a pisces, a romantic, and a former princess-obsessed little girl, so trust me, i had to unlearn this one myself.) here's the reframe: real love isn't something that falls into your lap. it's built. the conflict, the hard conversations, the growth- those don't happen in the absence of love, they happen because of it. and the most impressive thing you can do for your inner child isn't waiting to be chosen… it's learning to choose yourself. we get into what healthy, conscious, reciprocal relationships actually feel like, the one question that tells you everything ("does my inner child feel safe here?"), and why real love is so much better than any fairy tale. 🎧 new episodes every Sunday at 12PM EST connect with julia on instagram @beautybyjulia [http://www.instagram.com/beautybyjulia] + tik tok @juliasalvia [http://www.tiktok.com/@juliasalvia] unlock more archive content on instagram @theselflovearchive [http://www.instagram.com/theselflovearchive] + tik tok @theselflovearchives [http://www.tiktok.com/@theselflovearchives] sign up for the self-love archives newsletter: www.theselflovearchives.com [http://www.theselflovearchives.com]

your life won't change until you do: getting out of your comfort zone

click here to tell us how this landed for you ❤️ [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2229970/fan_mail/new] when was the last time you did something genuinely cool- not productive, not responsible, just cool? 🤍 this week on the self love archives, we're talking about getting out of your comfort zone and doing the things that make your inner child go, "wait, we get to do that?" here's the truth i keep coming back to: staying in your comfort zone is what keeps you small. comfort feels safe, but comfort is also a ceiling and when you let comfort decide how high you can go, you're really letting fear design your whole life. i don't want that for you, and your inner child definitely doesn't either. in this episode i'm sharing how i've been building up to my first-ever solo trip by taking myself on monthly solo dates, the simple "what if it goes right?" reframe that quiets the fear, and why the smallest brave thing- a new coffee shop, a conference, complimenting a stranger- still counts. i also get personal about my upcoming solo trip to montana and why it means more to me than i can put into words. this is your permission slip to do the thing. let's make it a self-love summer. 🌸 📖 join our free self love book club on the fable app [ https://fable.co/club/self-love-book-club-with-julia-salvia-253242412359], where our June read is Untamed by Glennon Doyle [https://www.amazon.com/shop/beautybyjulia/photo/amzn1.shoppablemedia.v1.cca12c0c-fb5a-4ae3-8abb-e862d6b2450c?ref_=aipsfphoto]   ✨ new episodes every Sunday at 12PM ET. i love you and that inner child in you to the moon and back. connect with julia on instagram @beautybyjulia [http://www.instagram.com/beautybyjulia] + tik tok @juliasalvia [http://www.tiktok.com/@juliasalvia] unlock more archive content on instagram @theselflovearchive [http://www.instagram.com/theselflovearchive] + tik tok @theselflovearchives [http://www.tiktok.com/@theselflovearchives] sign up for the self-love archives newsletter: www.theselflovearchives.com [http://www.theselflovearchives.com]
