Brandy's Self Love Club Favorites

This Valentines we want to celebrate something a little different; radical self love. We hear about self love all the time but what does it mean to radically love yourself? Radical self love is an ongoing process that involves unlearning toxic beliefs about inferiority and body image and replacing them with self-acceptance and compassion. And it's not just a belief that you are more than good enough; it's taking action by caring for your body and mind. We're tossing the cheesy jewelry and replacing it with meaningful mantras and reminders of self worth.
