Self Love Era

Self Love by Shannon Kim

Self Love is Self Healing

Emotional healing has become my fountain of youth. With every layer I've let go of my heart has healed a little deeper. This journey of love and acceptance—first for myself, and then for others—has kept me open-hearted and vulnerable. It’s led to a softening in my energy, and that shift has changed everything. My face is more relaxed, my body language more open, and overall, I just feel lighter and happier. The person I am now is a reflection of the work I’ve done to get here—a lifelong commitment to growth and letting go.

But I wasn’t always this way. In my younger years, I was consumed by worry and anxiety. I tried to control everything and everyone around me just to feel safe. I was aggressive, constantly on guard against invisible dangers, pushing myself hard to get things done. This constant state of stress and anger that I deint realize I was in, affected my energy and the way I moved through the world. I was guarded, unconscious of the childhood patterns that were still running my life. It was through Hypnotherapy and Somatic Therapy that I began to understand these patterns. I realized I was no longer that little girl, but I was still operating from that emotional state. This awareness was the key to understanding my negative, protective behaviors, and it allowed me to rewire those programs to align with who I am now.

Today, when people meet me, they often think I’ve always had it all together. They’re surprised to learn that I’ve recreated myself, that I’ve rebuilt who I am by releasing all the things that I’m not. I’ve let go of fear, shame, and the patterns unconsciously passed down to me by my ancestors and family. In every family, there’s someone who breaks the chain—and for mine, that person was me.
