Loving Me Before I Love You Podcast with Tammy Nicole and Friends
Welcome to Loving Me Before I Love You, the podcast for women who are ready to stop losing themselves while searching for love, validation, and belonging.
Hosted by Coach Tammy Nicole, this show is where healing meets honesty, self-discovery meets transformation, and women learn how to reclaim their voice, their worth, and their power.
Each week, Coach Tammy Nicole sits down with therapists, relationship experts, life coaches, authors, and everyday people with extraordinary stories to explore the conversations that help us become healthier, more whole versions of ourselves. From self-love and emotional healing to relationships, boundaries, confidence, mother wounds, childhood experiences, mental health, identity, and personal growth, no topic is off limits.
This is not about becoming someone new.
It's about becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, abandonment wounds, emotional unavailability, unhealthy relationship patterns, low self-worth, or the feeling that you've spent your life taking care of everyone except yourself, you're in the right place.
Through meaningful conversations, practical tools, and powerful insights, you'll learn how your past shaped you, how your patterns were formed, and most importantly, how to create a future that aligns with the woman you're becoming.
Because healthy love doesn't start when someone chooses you.
It starts when you choose yourself.
So grab your journal, take a deep breath, and join us each week as we do the work of healing, growing, and becoming.
Welcome to Loving Me Before I Love You.
Your journey back to yourself starts here.

Family Wounds: Breaking Cycles Without Breaking Myself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There comes a moment when you realize…
the pain didn’t start with you,
but the healing?
That responsibility found your name.
In this deeply honest and necessary conversation, I sit down with Jamiliah Zadravec, affectionately known as Jay, a faith-led soft life content creator who is redefining what healing really looks like. Not the performative kind. Not the “I’m over it” kind. But the kind that requires boundaries, truth, and choosing peace… even when it’s uncomfortable.
Jay, the voice behind Jay’sSoftLife, shares her journey of navigating family wounds without losing herself in the process. With humor, wisdom, and a whole lot of honesty, she breaks down what it means to stop carrying what was never yours, to release guilt, and to understand that breaking cycles does not require you to break yourself.
This episode is for the woman who is tired of being the strong one at her own expense. The one who’s ready to heal but refuses to keep bleeding for the sake of family loyalty.
We talk about:
• What family wounds really look like when you stop romanticizing them
• Why boundaries feel like betrayal… but are actually self-respect
• Letting go of guilt when you choose yourself
• Healing without losing your softness
• How faith and self-awareness can coexist in your healing journey
Because let’s be real…
Some of us weren’t raised, we were survived.
And now you’re being called to do something different.

If this episode spoke to you, don’t just sit with it…
Move with it.
Because healing isn’t just about understanding your story.
It’s about deciding you’re no longer going to live trapped inside of it.
