Welcome to the Unblocked podcast with Jessica Smarro! This podcast explores the blocks that get in the way of living your best life and serves as a catalyst to self-exploration and self-realization. We discuss how to remove the mental, emotional, and behavioral barriers that get in the way of knowing your inner truth and living fully in and from that place. We also explore the steps required to free oneself from these blocks. Doing so allows you to show up in the world as fully alive, integrated, creative, whole humans. Let's get Unblocked!

Ep 54: Self-Love vs Self-Relationship
For some, self-love is a bit of a mystery or feels like an impossible goal. If the starting point is self-loathing, it completely makes sense that self-love would seem out of the question. In today's episode, I talk about recalibrating the goal to adjust the focus toward building a relationship with ourselves rather than trying to jump straight into love. Settle in for a conversation on getting to know yourself, adjusting how you talk and think about yourself, and rethinking the story about relationship to self. Click link in bio to listen.

Allow me to introduce you all to Cassondra Preer Taylor. She is an entrepreneur, decorated military veteran, and a business woman with a highly awarded corporate career.

Cassondra was remarkably close to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Witnessing people's "ledge" moments that day, Cassondra found herself considering what they might be contemplating as they were faced with the realities of 911. She reflected on the things that would be left undone and unexperienced for them. Questioning what she was putting off for "later," she wondered - what am I waiting for?
