Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!
On the podcast today is Jenna Banks, an entrepreneur, public speaker, author, podcast host, real-estate investor, and self-love advocate.
Her forthcoming book is I Love Me More: How to Find Happiness and Success Through Self-Love, and she crushes the myths about how we should relate to ourselves. Jenna wants to help you stop freely giving all your power away and start understanding your worth.
In today’s episode Jenna and I chat about:
Jenna’s self-love journey, why your love is your power, and finding the courage to walk away from the known and into the unknown.
How you can live a fuller, more rewarding life by embracing your own value and power, making self-love a lifestyle choice, and why choosing self-love isn’t always easy.
Creating a self-love loop and the seven saboteurs of self-love, why it’s important to not ignore your instincts, and how we can begin to strengthen our relationship with ourselves.
Plus, Jenna shares how we can find happiness and success through self-love, her biggest dream, what she hopes readers will take away from her new book, and so much more!

“Your love is your power, you have the control over it, you can let everything take your attention and your power away, or you can put that energy back into yourself. That is a beautiful self-love loop right there.”
“My goal is for women to know their worth and their value. It doesn’t come from others or what anyone else thinks of you. It doesn’t come from how long your nails are, how long your eyelashes are, or how big your lips are, I love beauty on the outside but it’s not about that. Your value and your worth come from how you feel about yourself. That’s it! The more you value yourself, the more others will value you. It has nothing to do with external appearances.”
