Title: Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It

What if the most important thing you could do for yourself felt ridiculous at first? Kamal Ravikant was at rock bottom when he started repeating 'I love myself' out loud, even as his mind screamed that it was nonsense.

Sam and Sophie walk through Ravikant's radical practice: self-love as a daily decision, not a feeling. They cover the mantra technique, using physical touch to ground it, the distinction between loving and liking yourself, and why forgiveness is essential. The episode also explores how this practice rewires neural pathways and why your resistance is actually proof it's working.

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt self-love was either selfish or out of reach. The takeaway: self-love is a discipline you can practice in minutes a day, and it changes everything from failure recovery to how you show up for others.
