Love Yourself Loudly

Nina Polyne

Welcome to Love Yourself Loudly — where self-love isn't a concept. It's a practice. I'm Dr. Nina — a couples psychologist and energetic connector by nature. I ask a lot of questions, I live my life in color, and I've never been very good at playing small. This is where we have the real conversations — about how we love ourselves, how we show up in our relationships, and how we give ourselves full permission to take up space — boldly, unapologetically, without explanation. We also get curious about why that's so hard. Why speaking kindly about ourselves can feel somehow wrong. Why confidence gets mistaken for arrogance, why being sure of yourself gets treated like a character flaw, why we've been taught that humility and self-worth can't coexist — and whether any of that was ever actually true. This isn't about telling you how to live. It's an open invitation to explore — together — what it actually means to choose yourself, and to hold your self-respect and your humility in the same hands without apologizing for either. Real dialogue, honest depth, and a space that meets you exactly where you are. No fluff. No performance. New brief episodes every Sunday. Follow the show so you never miss what's coming. And remember: you deserve to love yourself loudly — and don't be sorry about it. --- 📌 **A note before you dive in:** Love Yourself Loudly is educational and personal development content.

    You're Not Ungrateful, You're Grieving: The Hidden Loss Inside Every Life Transition

    You've been told to "count your blessings". To focus on the good. To be grateful. And, you are... but what nobody prepares you for is the grief that lives right next to the joy. Whether you just became a mom (or parent/caregiver), stepped into a new career, or leveled up in any way - if you're feeling a quiet sense of loss in the middle of something you've always wanted, this episode is for you. This episode is also for you if the change in your life was unexpected.  Grief doesn't mean you're not grateful. It means you're human moving through the complexity of life. Let’s explore together! IN THIS EPISODE, DR. NINA COVERS: * Why every major life transition carries grief alongside the celebration, even the ones you chose and worked hard for * The two unhealthy responses to transition grief - toxic positivity and staying stuck - and why neither one actually heals you * A personal story: the morning routine Dr. Nina grieved when she became a mother, and how she learned to hold both loss and love at the same time * The career transition lens: what it looks like to grieve an identity tied to a role, a title, or a way of being seen in the world * What it actually means to "meet yourself" in a hard moment - and how that's what loving yourself loudly really looks like JOURNAL QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: Take these with you. Sit with them. You don't have to have the answers right away. What part of your old self, your old routine, identity, or life are you silently grieving right now? Have you given yourself permission to name it?When you feel grief alongside something good, do you tend to bypass it (tell yourself you should just be grateful) or do you get stuck in it? What does that pattern cost you?What would it look like to validate your own grief? Not to wallow in it, but to simply say: "This loss is real, and I'm allowed to feel it"?What are the two things that are both true for you right now? The joy AND the grief. Can you hold both without letting one cancel the other out?Who in your life makes you feel safe enough to say "I'm struggling with this transition", even when the transition looks like a blessing or incredible from the outside? REMEMBER: Loving yourself loudly is a daily practice. Embrace your imperfections, honor your emotions, and speak your truth with confidence. Start today, unapologetically. CONNECT WITH DR.
