In a world where disconnection, self-doubt, and comparison run rampant, how do we return to ourselves?

In this powerful episode, Michael Unbroken sits down with author and self-love advocate Aneta Waclaw to unpack the real meaning of self-love, and why it's more than just a buzzword.

Aneta shares the raw and inspiring story behind her book Blooming with Self Love: 31 Days of Affirmations and Journaling, and how simple practices like daily gratitude and affirmations became her anchor after trauma, toxic relationships, and personal breakdowns. Together, they explore why so many of us put others first, how to stop people-pleasing, and what it actually takes to build the habit of loving yourself.

You’ll learn:
* Why your healing might begin by leaving everything familiar
* How affirmations work (even when you don’t believe them at first)
* The role of action, gratitude, and personal accountability in transformation
* How to stop chasing validation and start choosing yourself every day

If you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or like self-love just doesn’t “stick,” this episode is your wake-up call—and your roadmap.
