Love Thyself, First + Always

Methods for Living More Freely as Your Authentic Self

By Indie Author Michelle A. Cawley

 
 
 

Self-Love is a Learned Practice.

One we’re not taught from a young age. Instead, we’re fed expectations, labels, and agreements that start to restrict us into a box that limits both self and social relationships. It’s not until we discover we’ve abandoned ourselves that we decide we want to fall head over heels in love with us for possibly the first time ever. That’s where Love Thyself, First + Always comes in.

LTFA invites you to dig deep into the dark crevices we try to ignore, examine what is there, evaluate what you want to keep for yourself and what you need to release, and consciously choose how you move forward from a heart-centered place.

LTFA is a book and workbook in one. It blends the 10 areas of Self-Love with yoga philosophy and powerful questions, all designed to help you become the self-loving machine you deserve.

About Michelle

A born-and-raised Ohioan with a desire to rebel against the status quo, Michelle made the extremely difficult decision to live childfree after infertility. She used yoga and meditation’s therapeutic practices to transform her life into the vision she craved — to feel lighter, to feel more adventurous, and to feel free to be her authentic Self. She graduated high school with an extra tassel because of her passion for storytelling. Michelle resumed her love of writing when she felt called. With a BFA in dance performance from East Carolina University, an MBA from the University of Phoenix, and over 15 years in the advertising and marketing industry, Michelle brings a wealth of diverse knowledge and life experiences to her work. She currently resides in North Carolina and spends her free time exploring the U.S. in her Airstream Basecamp with her cat Carmey.
