Hello Sweet Friends:

Do you ever struggle with self-love? Does it ever feel a lot more complicated than it seems? And you begin to wonder if that whole self-love bliss you see all over Instagram is even a real thing?

I feel you! In fact, the idea of self-love used to be so strange to me that it wasn’t even a priority. Until a Graves Disease diagnosis knocked me off my feet.
