With Self Respect Comes Self Love

Goddess Asha Mariama

This Podcast is all about the importance of respecting yourself in order to love yourself. How self respect leads to the love of self through how you feel about yourself. How you don't allow anyone to treat you in a kind of way because of your flaws, imperfections, or mistakes? How we need to stop putting other people's wants and needs before? How we need to stop trying to bring other people to our levels? Why we need to stop trying to lower our standards in order to be in the in crowd? How negative people should not get us to where we are doubting ourselves and feelings less than what we are? How we allow these negative people to lower our self esteem, self worth, self values, self confidence, and believing in ourselves? How we should base ourselves more on what we think about ourselves versus what other people think about us? I hope that you guys enjoy this Podcast. And you guys learn something that will help you on your journeys and your paths to greatness.

    Episode 71- My Pre-conversation with Ama K. Karikari About Silence Pain, Suffering, and Abuse.

    In this episode, I had a pre-conversation with Ama K. Karikari about silence abuse, pain, and suffering when it comes to relationships, as far as family, romantic relationships, and friendships. She tells her story about what she experienced in her 15-year marriage and the silence abuse that she experienced during the marriage. We talked about the damage of silence when it comes to abuse, pain, and suffering from the people that you love. How can silence mean that you are allowing and giving permission for people to hurt, abuse, neglect, manipulate, and take advantage of you? How can silence be harmful to the point that it affects your self-esteem and how you see yourself? How did she overcome the silence abuse, and get out of the marriage? What was the breaking point that made her leave? How can silence be abusive, and no one think that it is abuse? A little about Ama: she is a TEDxGeorgeSchool speaker, author of Silenced to Soaring, transformational guide, attorney, and founder who helps women understand covert emotional harm and reconnect with their voice. Her perspective is shaped by work with women’s leadership, educational, and community audiences, along with studies at Harvard, Penn Law, and Wharton. It was a beautiful conversation that I wanted to share with my audience when it comes to overcoming adversity, pain, abuse, trauma, and suffering due to silence. The second part is coming soon. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/with-self-respect-comes-self-love--5161847/support.

    Episode 70- My Pre-conversation with Ezra Vancil about Spiritual Redemption, Addictions, and Forgiveness.

    In this episode, I had a pre-conversation with Ezra Vancil about his redemption and forgiveness when it comes to him overcoming addiction, depression, a felony DWI, a broken marriage, and a season where I nearly ended my life. How is it now, 13 years of being sober, his marriage was restored, and I rebuilt my life slowly, through journals, poetry, discipline, faith, and honest work? How, like the story of Humpty Dumpty, he put himself back together again after falling off the wall? We talked about his life as a rock star when he was younger, ended up on drugs and alcohol. And was divorced twice. How people are quick to use your mistakes, flaws, imperfections, and weaknesses against you as a weapon? We talked about spiritual judgment when it comes to the way that people in the Bible were judged, who did nothing but what was right. We also discussed love and being liked addiction as far as what people are willing to do for it, and what will happen negatively that will destroy you. We also talked about the way that felons are judged and crucified for their past mistakes. Why are people always holding people's past mistakes as a weapon against them? Why are people not allowed to change for the better just because they have made a mistake or multiple mistakes in their past? We talked about how our children, friends, and families are impacted and affected by addictions. We talked about suicide and what happens if and when we survive it. What leads to suicide, and no will to live? We really dove deeply into redemption and overcoming addictions. It was a great conversation that I had to let you guys hear. Part 2 is coming soon.

    Episode 69- My Pre-conversation with Pratiqk Jaani about the Dhrasti Perception Theory.

    In this episode, I had a great pre-conversation about the Dhrasti Method and Perception Theory. We talked about his life as a people pleaser for most of it, which led him to the Dhrasti Method and Perception Theory. We talked about low self-esteem, low self-worth, low self-value, low self-respect, low self-love, low self-confidence, and believing in oneself when no one else does; how his medical and mental health journey has led him to be the founder of Dhrasti Method Ltd and the author of Dhrasti! The Perception? We talked about self-esteem healing and recovery when it comes to building your self-esteem through the negative situations that you are in, and the people who have harmed you. He spoke on being a qualified hypnotherapist and business advisor, the state of bliss, and how to live with bliss and joy too. We spoke about how this method can lead you to being alone to find who you are, heal and recover from your trauma, abuse, suffering, pain, and hurt from negative people and situations. We also spoke about religion and spirituality when it comes to building yourself into the new version of you. How the higher power pulls you away from the world for you to heal, recover, learn, grow, and evolve to prepare you for the things that will hurt and cause you pain and suffering, and how to protect yourself from negative people and situations. It was a great conversation about self-esteem, self-love, and self-value. We will be doing a part of this episode coming soon.

    Episode 68- My Pre-conversation with Paul Drayton about His Memoir, Ride, Or Die Trying.

    In this episode, I had a great conversation with Paul Drayton about his memoir Ride, or Die Trying. We talked about his battle with alcohol and being a people pleaser throughout his whole life. We talked about his marriage and divorce from comedian Alan Carr. He was very candid account of addiction recovery, accountability, grief, a late ADHD diagnosis at 50, and rebuilding his life. How did the drinking addiction almost ruin his life and career? How has his healing and recovery journey led him to rebuilding, and he is now in a much happier place? We talked about how being a people pleaser and lowering yourself is ruining so many people's lives. How being a people pleaser starts from childhood based on trying to please our parents and living up to their expectations. He also talks plainly about making peace with past mistakes, not being defined by public opinion, and rebuilding self-worth without dressing it up. There’s humour and honesty in the way he reflects on chaos, identity, loss, and starting over. People do not understand the damage that being a people pleaser causes to all aspects of your life, health, and wellness. It was a very enlightening conversation that I wanted you guys to hear. We will be doing a part two to that conversation soon. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

    Episode 67 - With Self Respect Comes Self Love When It Comes To Trauma, Pain, and Suffering.

    In this episode, I wanna talk about self-esteem, self value, self-love, and self-respect, when it comes to losing it based upon pain, suffering, trauma, abuse, or any negative things that you’ve been through based on other people. There are millions of different ways why people can lose their respect for themselves. Why people don’t love, value, appreciate, or know they’re worth because they base it on other people and what they think, feel, and their opinions of them. That starts from childhood when it comes to how their parents have talked about them, as well as other children, siblings, family, members, and other people in general. I don’t think people understand the importance of self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self-care, self-respect, confidence, and you believing in yourself even when no one else does when it comes to healing and recovery. That’s the first thing that needs to be worked on before anything else can be worked on when it comes to healing and recovery. So I wanted to do this episode because I wanted people to understand that after losing my father, I learned so much about a lot of things that break our self-esteem, self value, self love, and self-respect within ourselves. How we deal with the death of the people that have caused us pain, suffering, abuse, and trauma throughout our whole winter our lives? So I hope this episode helps so many people understand why your self-esteem, self-respect, self love, self value, self-worth, self-confidence, and you believing in yourself when no one else does is so important. And it should never be based on what other people think, say, or their opinions of you, but more so based on how you see yourself.

    In this episode, I talk about self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self-respect, self-love, self-confidence, and you believe in yourself when it comes to overcoming death and grief. I just lost my father on February 12 of 2026, and I wanted to discuss how death can impact a person‘s self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self self-respect, self love, self-confidence, and you believe in yourself because the people that you love when it comes to your parents, family, children, spouses, and close friends are gone, that believed in you. The people that supported, loved, and believed in you when no one else did are gone. The people that when everybody else put you down and made you feel less than, uplift you and are your biggest cheerleaders when it comes to the things that you do are no longer here physically. How do you move forward when your biggest protectors, and supporters are gone? The people that saved you from all the negative people that were destroying your life are no longer here physically. when it comes to healing and recovery when it comes to grief and death, it’s a little bit different than the other healing and recovery that I have discussed. So I just wanted to come on here, and let you guys know how I’m coping with my healing recovery process when it comes to losing my father. What I’m learning from the death of my father that is changing the way I go about living my life now. And how me and my family are moving forward since the loss of my father? It certainly hasn’t been a very easy journey, but I’m just taking things one day at a time. so I hope this episode really helps other people that are going through grief when it comes to losing a love one and death, that you’re not alone. And I hope it gives you inspiration as far as how to go about overcoming grief.
