Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo Self-Love Is Not Selfish: The Real Inner Work of Mindful Leaders
In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, we explore how self-love is not a luxury or cliché — it’s a foundational practice of mindful living and teaching.
Through reflections, real-life examples, and guided insights, you’ll learn how cultivating compassion toward yourself isn’t about indulgence — it’s about resilience, truth, and belonging.
Whether you’re a mindfulness teacher, seeker, or someone in the process of healing, this episode reminds us that self-love isn’t the end of the path — it is the path.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The difference between self-love and self-judgment disguised as motivation
- How mindfulness helps us witness ourselves without shame
- Why self-love is essential for those who teach or care for others
- Breath- and body-based practices to soften resistance and open the heart
- How to shift from "fixing" ourselves to befriending who we already are
“You don’t need to become someone else to be worthy of love. You just need to come home to yourself.”
