How to Be the Love of Your Own Life with Simi Muhumuza
Self-love is a popular topic, but what does it actually mean in practice?
In this episode I’m joined by content creator and creative powerhouse Simi Muhumuza for a conversation that’s honest, affirming, and full of softness. We talk about what it means to return to yourself, especially after a year that asked you to slow down and start over. Simi shares why 2024 and 2025 have been life-changing years, chronicling her journey of releasing fear, surrendering to joy, and trusting her body again. We also talk about her breast reduction experience, the emotional healing that came with it, and what it means to feel at home in your body after a big shift. If you’re in a season of resetting, reclaiming, or just figuring out what your version of growth looks like, this episode is for you.
