The Self Love Project
Welcome to The Self Love Project — the podcast that helps you quiet your inner critic, rewrite your self-talk, and finally feel like your own biggest supporter.
Every week, host Megan Lawther (mindset coach, podcast host, and self-love cheerleader) shares relatable stories, mindset shifts, and soulful encouragement to help you feel better, love deeper, and stop self-sabotaging the life you actually want.
Expect real talk, a little humor, and the kind of reminders that feel like a warm hug and a motivational slap on the same day.
New episodes drop every Saturday morning (MDT) — so whether you're folding laundry or taking a walk, consider this your weekly permission slip to choose yourself.

Breaking Free from Guilt and Perfectionism
In this episode of The Self Love Project, Megan dives into the guilt we feel when we don't meet our own unrealistic expectations and the constant pressure to always be doing more. She explores why rest isn't a reward but a requirement, and how skipping rest or attaching guilt to it creates a cycle of burnout and depletion. Megan also talks about the power of saying no, ditching "should" language, and embracing your Soft Girl (or Mellow Man) Era—a season of life where peace, ease, and self-respect come first. This episode is a gentle but empowering reminder that your worth isn’t tied to your productivity, and rest is one of the most radical forms of self-love.
