About this listen

Welcome to My Self-Care Sht*—the unapologetically real podcast that explores self-care beyond bubble baths and green juice. I’m your host, Kathy Love—TEDx speaker, author, coach, and self-care rebel—here to help you reclaim your time, your energy, and your worth.


Each week, we flip the script on what self-care really means. Some episodes feature honest, inspiring conversations with guests who share why their thing—whether it’s salary negotiation, breathwork, art, or pickleball—is actually self-care.


Other weeks, it’s just you and me—shorter solo episodes where I get real about boundaries, burnout, healing, and the messy magic of showing up for yourself.


This is the self-care you didn’t know you needed—but won’t want to live without. Tune in, take a breath, and let’s get into some self-care sh*t that actually changes lives.

  • The Power of Neutrality: The Pause That Changes Everything with Laura Brennan Ballet
    Jan 25 2026

    Send us a text

    What if your greatest self-care superpower isn’t doing more — but pausing?

    In this deeply reflective conversation, Kathy Love sits down with Laura Brennan Ballet to explore the concept of neutrality as a life skill — the pause between reaction and response that allows us to live, lead, and heal with intention. Together, they unpack generational self-care, emotional regulation, empowerment through awareness, and how learning to “see it through” can change everything. This episode is a reminder that self-care is not indulgence — it’s preparation for life

    Neutrality as a Self-Care Superpower

    Laura introduces neutrality as the pause that allows us to break patterns of reaction, judgment, and emotional overwhelm. Neutrality creates space for awareness, clarity, and choice.
    Resource: The Science of Empowerment

    The conversation explores how self-care is taught — not through words alone, but through behavior. Laura shares how her mother and grandmother modeled self-prioritization and how those lessons are now passed on to her daughters.

    Negative, positive, or neutral — learning to recognize emotional energy helps us respond instead of react. Neutrality becomes a learned skill that can be practiced at any stage of life.

    Self-care includes conscious decision-making. Laura discusses the importance of thinking ahead, understanding consequences, and choosing paths that serve both personal and collective well-being.

    Laura shares the personal story that led to her book — a life-altering injury that required mental, emotional, and energetic rehabilitation. The episode highlights how empowerment is built through accountability, critical thinking, and self-love.

    This episode is sponsored by The Outlier Project, a global community dedicated to personal growth, leadership, and meaningful connection.

    As the #1. International Bestselling Author of The Science of Empowerment, Thought Energy Mindset Transformational Coach and Speaker, and Mind Development & Human Awareness Activator, Laura’s skill set, gathered wisdom, and personal discipline to advance human potential is evident in her creative work.
    The care and consideration that supports her clients, attendees, and listeners around the globe, is evident at first greeting. High energy output and the feeling that all things are possible, begins the Co-creative relationship that she is sought after and known for.

  • Somatic Leadership & the Power of the Resilient Reset with Kimberly Arnold
    Jan 11 2026

    Send us a text

    In this deeply grounding and eye-opening episode, Kathy Love sits down with Kimberly Arnold, founder of Somatic Leadership, to explore what it actually means to bring the body into the conversation—especially in leadership, work, and everyday life.

    This conversation introduces somatic healing in a way that is accessible, practical, and immediately useful. Kimberly explains why thinking your way out of stress doesn’t work—and how simple, physical shifts in the body can quickly restore clarity, calm, and connection.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, exhausted, or stuck in fight-or-flight, this episode offers a powerful new lens—and real tools you can use right away.

    🧠 Key Concepts

    Somatic Awareness
    Somatic work intentionally brings the body into awareness.

    The Nervous System Reality
    80–90% of vagus nerve signals travel from the body to the brain.

    Resilient Reset
    A Resilient Reset is a brief, physical micro-practice that helps you shift out of reactivity and back into clarity, presence, and resilience—often in under a minute.

    💼 Somatics & Leadership

    Kimberly shares how she works with leaders and teams to build collective resilience.


    Kimberly Arnold teaches leaders how to shift from adrenaline-driven execution to regulated, repeatable performance under pressure. Even self-described skeptics are surprised by how simple her Resilient Reset body-based practices are—many describe them as life-changing. Her approach helps leaders stay composed, credible, and human in crisis, rather than defaulting to burnout or reactivity, with 94% continuing to use the practices months later. Kimberly is an organizational resilience expert and a sought-after speaker, strategic advisor, executive coach, and corporate trainer, bringing decades of executive leadership at PwC, Salesforce, and Blue Shield of California, alongside deep somatic training rooted in Aikido, Tai Chi, Qigong, Feldenkrais and conscious dance.
