Hello, beautiful souls! As we step into December, it’s time to pause and reflect on the incredible journey we’ve taken together in 2024. This year has been a monumental one for The Season of Self-Love, marking our first full year as a podcast and entering our second season with over 200 episodes! Can you believe it? We're truly proud of what we’ve built—a community dedicated to growth, empowerment, and self-discovery.
The Year of Dominating
We coined 2024 as the "Year of Domination," and oh, how we’ve lived up to that motto! From insightful conversations about self-love to practical strategies for personal development, every episode has contributed to our collective growth. We tackled deep topics, shared powerful stories, and learned invaluable lessons that have shaped us both individually and as a community.
Looking Back: Our Monthly Series in 2024
We started the year with a bang, kicking off January with our series on Setting Powerful Intentions for the Year Ahead. We reflected on the past year and explored how to set empowering goals for personal growth in 2024. In February, we deepened our mindset with Cultivating a Positive Mindset for Dominance, focusing on shifting negative thoughts into powerful, success-oriented beliefs.
In March, we took control of our health and well-being with Taking Control of Your Health and Well-being, exploring self-care practices for mental, emotional, and physical health. April was all about Nurturing Self-Confidence and Overcoming Self-Doubt, while May brought us Developing Productivity Habits for Maximum Success, teaching us time management strategies to elevate our routines. June’s focus on Strengthening Relationships and Communication Skills allowed us to nurture healthy, lasting connections.
In February, we were honored to welcome Dr. Will as our resident therapist, adding a unique perspective to our discussions. After a brief break during the summer, we returned with season 2 in September, launching the powerful series Healing Beyond Betrayal. During this time, we were joined by incredible guests, including Susan Snow, who shared her inspiring journey of overcoming trauma and resilience after her father was tragically killed by gang members, and Jesse Torres, who opened up about healing from abuse and the transformative power of forgiving her father. Along with this series, we introduced resources like the 30-Day Healing Beyond Betrayal Challenge and a 52-page ebook, which resonated deeply with many of you.
In October, our Act of Balancing Life Series brought in Dr. Michelle R. Hannah, who not only shared profound insights but had the most moving experience on air, offering a real-time testimony of her own journey. It was a deeply emotional and powerful moment that left us all in awe. As November rolled around, we were honored to have Katharine Giovanni, who shared her powerful take on the art of forgiveness, and Marie Alessi, who moved us all with her story of finding joy through grief. Both conversations were deeply inspiring and left me feeling full, as they touched on universal themes of healing, forgiveness, and hope.
As October and November came to a close, we continued to build on the momentum with a 102-page ebook in October’s series and the 10-Day Book Challenge: Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life in November. The feedback and growth stories from each series have been nothing short of inspiring.
