    Little Luxuries: Do You *Actually* Know The Golden Rule?

    In a world that feels loud, divided, and tender, this episode is an invitation to return to something simple—and deeply powerful: love. Love is the only force more powerful than hate. But what happens when we try to love others without first loving ourselves? In this episode of Little Luxuries, Terra reflects on growing up in the Mormon church and how the foundational values of being a good friend, loving your neighbor, and loving your family well still guide her today. She explores the often-overlooked part of the commandment “love thy neighbor as thyself”—and why it feels especially relevant right now. Together, we unpack: What it really means to be a friend to yourselfWhy self-love isn’t selfish—it’s foundationalHow our interpretations shape our experiencesWays to build personal strength and resilience during challenging timesHow loving ourselves more deeply allows us to love others more generouslyThis episode also weaves in Terra’s Little Luxuries of the Week, including: Bad Bunny on repeatOlivia Dean embodying pure joy at the GrammysCheesecake Factory and Red Robin birthday celebrationsThe art of thoughtful serviceBarre with best friendsMud wraps and massages as a reminder that rest is careIf you’re craving softness, perspective, and a reminder that joy and love are still available—this episode is for you. ✨ If this episode resonated, please share it with someone who could use a little encouragement, and don’t forget to rate and review Little Luxuries.
