February’s Theme: Radical Self-Love as Resistance

Hello,

I don’t know if it’s obvious or not, but every month this space has a theme. It’s the thread running through every newsletter, audio guide, and challenge—a cohesive intention designed to help you rise.

February’s theme? Radical Self-Love as Resistance.

Let me tell you why this theme matters to me.

You may not know this about me, but about a decade ago, my life burned to the ground. My family ostracized me for being gay, and I went through the darkest time I’ve ever known—a true dark night of the soul that brought me to my knees. It lasted two years, and there were moments I didn’t know if I could pull myself out of it.

But as devastating as it was, it was exactly what I needed.

For the first time in my life, I let go of what others thought of me. I let go of the emotional weight I had been carrying for years without realizing it. And when I finally began to rebuild myself, I did it in a way that was authentic, real, and unapologetically radical.

I embraced a kind of self-love that reached into the deepest, most resonant parts of who I am. It was the first time I could breathe fully, and it felt like freedom.

This is why I believe radical self-love is resistance.

It’s resistance against people who refuse to accept others for who they are. It’s resistance against a society that profits from your insecurity and self-doubt. And it’s resistance against the messages that tell you to shrink, stay quiet, and comply.

Self-love isn’t selfish—it’s survival. And it’s a revolution.

February is about tearing down the system that tells you your value is conditional. It’s about reclaiming your worth and standing boldly in the face of those who want you to stay small.

This month, we’re going to talk about:

• The Lies Society Tells You: How to recognize and reject the untrue stories that keep you small.

• Boundaries as Rebellion: Why saying “no” isn’t selfish—it’s revolutionary.

• Self-Worth Isn’t Optional: Reclaiming your value in a society that thrives on your insecurity.

• Love as a Rebellion: How self-love fuels collective empowerment and disrupts systems of control.

These aren’t just ideas—they’re tools for transformation. They’re the blueprint for how to navigate a world that would rather see you silent and small.

I know what it feels like to carry the weight of other people’s expectations and rejection. And I know what it feels like to let it go. If I can step into radical self-love, so can you.

February is for the bold. It’s for those who are ready to break the rules, rewrite the narratives, and love themselves so fiercely that the system has no choice but to take notice.

Are you ready?

Let’s burn it down and rebuild something better.

In rebellion,

Dee
