“When I’m sad I deserve more love not less. When I’m angry I deserve more love not less. When I’m frustrated I deserve more love not less. Whenever I’m hurt, heartbroken, ashamed or feeling guilty, I deserve more love not less even. When I’m embarrassed by my actions I deserve more love not less “
– Matt Kahn – read by Kelly Martin
When suffering from depression or anxiety, feeling incredible amounts of shame, I didn’t feel I deserved love. It took me a long time to see that my emotions, my feelings, the whole of me, deserved more love not less, especially when I was feeling in a very dark place.
In this podcast I talk about my own experience of not feeling good enough and how we need to journey back to having compassion when we are struggling a lot in life.
If you want to know why you are enough, this podcast is for you.
Highlights from the episode:
- A beautiful reading from Matt Kahn’s book ‘Whatever Arises, Love That’
- Why you came into this world perfect and not in the need of fixing
- How nature can teach us why we are enough
- Why the darkness is necessary
