Hi guys, it's Rach. Welcome back to a little Sunday pep talk, something that I hope you think about as you go into the week ahead.

And if it really resonates with you, maybe you save this episode somewhere so you can get the pep talk you need exactly when you need it.

This week, I'm thinking specifically about my single peeps, my single ladies, my single

fellas, anyone who is not just single, but wishes that they weren't, who's looking for a partner,

who's looking for love, who's on the dating apps, who's asking for blind dates,

who's doing all the things.'s on the dating apps, who's asking for blind dates, who's doing all

the things. I have a perspective shift for you. What would it look like to fall in love with yourself?

Now, don't roll your eyes. It is not some cheesy ideology. It actually is a really beautiful

way to pursue life. In fact, if you're listening to this

and you're in a relationship, it's worth asking, are you in love with yourself? Because we are

taught to chase love from others. Love from a partner, love from friends, love from family,

love from strangers on the internet.

We aspire to get to the place where someone finally sees us, where they choose us, where they make us feel worthy.

But here's the truth.

You don't need to wait for someone else to love you.

You don't need external validation to feel whole.

You don't need permission to treat yourself with the love and care that you are craving from a partner.

If you are looking for love, it's time to start with you.

You are the love you've been looking for.

It's like, I don't know, you grow up believing that love is something you're going to find.

It's something that happens when the, quote, right person comes along.

It's something that fills in all the gaps and makes us finally feel like we're enough.
