Ep 4 - Aphrodite & Self-Love: 5 Energetic Qualities to Embody This Taurus Season

Ep 5 - The Audacity Aura Era: Shadow Work, Business Energetics & Showing Up Boldly in Every Identity You Hold | with Libby Duffy

I’m joined by our first guest, Libby Duffy — Audacity and Business Coach, Podcast Host, Conscious Mama and so much more. We have a really honest, flowing conversation about what audacity actually is — including doing the shadow work, looking at root fears, and all parts of yourself. Libby shares her own story of burnout and rebuilding, how she works with clients through parts work, and why she believes the inner critic doesn’t need to be silenced — it just needs to feel safe. We also explore the idea that your business carries its own energetic aura, influenced by the energy you bring to it, your business birth chart, and the identity you’re stepping into. She shares more about her six-month mastermind, Audacity Aura, and what it looks like to go deep within yourself and expand from the inside out. We close with a raw, real conversation about COVID motherhood, reparenting our own inner children while raising daughters, finding glimmers, and the power of celebration as an alchemizer.

Ep 4 - Aphrodite & Self-Love: 5 Energetic Qualities to Embody This Taurus Season

In this special birthday bonus solo episode, I explore the divine feminine archetype of Aphrodite and her powerful alignment with Taurus season. I share how Aphrodite first came to me in meditation, walk through her origin story and love stories from Greek mythology, and break down five energetic qualities of Aphrodite that we can embody in our own self-love journey — duality, resilience, divine feminine energy, seeing the beauty, and self-love. I close with a signature poem reading, “Aphrodite,” from my unpublished 2024 poetry collection.

Ep 2 - From Carrying the Load to Overflow

Welcome back to The Self-Love Path. In this solo episode, I dive deep into the invisible loads we carry as women, mamas, and multi-passionate humans—the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic weight that keeps us stuck in survival mode. I break down the three categories of what we carry, share vulnerable real-life examples, and introduce the Triple P Loop (perfectionism, proving, productivity) that keeps us disconnected from ourselves. Then I guide you through five powerful practices to shift from energy drain to overflow—including a live breathwork session you can do right now. I close with a signature poem reading, “Meet Me Here Now,” to bring us back into presence. Key Moments: [1:28] What it means to carry the load | [1:59] The 3 categories of what we carry | [6:37] What happens when we carry it all | [6:58] The Triple P Loop | [7:53] Practice 1: Make the invisible load visible | [13:35] Practice 2: Parts check-ins | [16:20] Practice 3: Breathwork | [21:49] Live guided breathwork session | [24:23] Practice 4: Boundaries for energy leaks | [26:16] Practice 5: Finding glimmers, joy & magic | [29:28] Poetry reading: “Meet Me Here Now” Connect with Melissa: ✨ Website: melissaforselflove.com [https://melissaforselflove.com/]✨ Instagram: @radiantmelissaspratt [https://www.instagram.com/radiantmelissaspratt/]✨ Book a Self-Love Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/hello-melissaforselflove/claritycall [https://calendly.com/hello-melissaforselflove/permissiontobloom]✨ Substack: The Self-Love Path [https://substack.com/@theselflovepath] This is a public episode.

Ep 1 - What Self-Love Really Means: Foundations & Misconceptions

In this vulnerable debut, I share my journey from childhood anxiety and eating disorder recovery to spiritual awakening, motherhood during a pandemic, and discovering my calling as a certified Self-Love Coach.
