how to feel loved, even if you feel unlovable

on this episode of live a little, nikki is getting deeply vulnerable talking about why she feels unlovable, despite knowing logically that people love her. there's a crucial difference between knowing you're loved and believing you're lovable, especially romantically. nikki gets brutally honest about her rejection sensitivity - she's never been in a "proper" romantic relationship at nearly 22, so when she has a crush, her brain defaults to catastrophizing. underneath it all are deeper layers: growing up with a facial difference in a beauty-obsessed world, health struggles that made her feel like a burden, and the fear that if someone's interested, they must want something from her... but this episode shifts into something hopeful. nikki shares what she's learning in therapy, talks about distinguishing between intuition and fear wearing intuition's outfit and most importantly, she's learning that rejection doesn't have to be a bad thing. it's part of life. nikki's closing message is powerful: you are not hard to love just because you needed care. grab a cup of tea, get cosy and remember - be kind to the parts of you that panic when you want something. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
