The Self-Love Challenge is back!!
You have one job in this lifetime, and it is to truly love yourself!
The self-love challenge is back and better than ever! In this 2.0 version we dive even deeper into what it takes to truly love yourself; we move from knowledge, into practicing and embodiment of self-love.
Let’s just get clear about self-love and what this challenge entails by first of all saying what self-love is not…
Self-love is not:
- a fluffy, abstract concept
- a bunch pf positive affirmations that sound pretty but you don’t believe
- a day of day spa’s, facial’s and getting your nails done (although this sounds like fun!)
- over-indulgence
- purely about pleasure seeking
- free of discomfort
One definition on a google search says that self-love is “having an appreciation for one’s own worth or value. It is also thought to include paying sufficient attention to one’s own happiness and well-being.”
Appreciation for one’s own value or worth…. When I think of the love I have for my daughter, it’s a lot more than “an appreciation for her value or worth”!! It’s doing everything in my power to ensure she is equipped to live her best life! That she hears and experiences positive messages about who she is. Messages that are so loud and repetitive that she KNOWS how loved she is!
My love for her means showing up and creating boundaries for her, so that she learns to do the same for herself; that she learns to honour and respect herself by setting boundaries, as well as learning to honour the boundaries of others. It also means exposing her to activities and adventures that may bring her joy and delight, so that her soul can be lit up and her heart set on fire with the beauty and amazingness that the human experience has to offer.
So if this is anything to go by…. Self-love is waaayyyyy more than just an appreciation for one’s own value or worth!!
But it took me a journey to figure this out… A journey where I learnt the true meaning of self-love! And while I struggle to articulate what this means, I can tell you how it feels…
It feels like you’re in sync with the whole of who you are! It feels like freedom. It feels like home. It feels expansive. It feels blissful. It feels familiar. It feels true.
So for the FIRST time ever, I am bringing strategies to you that will have your soul lit up and your heart set on fire; strategies that will transform your concept of self-love. And best of all, I’m gifting this to you for FREE!!!
These are strategies that I have learnt over more than a decade of practising as a Clinical Psychologist, as well as the years of personal growth work that I’ve thrown myself into, and what I’ve learnt throughout my own journey…
You see, once upon a time I was searching for something…. Something to remind me of who I am and what my purpose here on this Earth is. And it was through a range of free, gifted and paid teachings that I was able to find my way back to my true north.
I have been very blessed with extraordinary humans in my life. And looking around me, I had all the things that should’ve made me feel joy, gratitude, abundant, and in love with life… but I didn’t. Throughout my own journey I came to see what the missing piece was…. Deep, deep, SELF-LOVE!!!! And please get, it’s not like I spoke terribly to myself and thought that I was truly worthless… I just hadn’t activated the beliefs and behaviours necessary to truly love myself.
So I went on a quest to find the elusive “self-love”…. And when I thought I had found it and was embodying it, the universe shone a light on the ways that I still wasn’t showing up for myself…. Not putting boundaries in place and honouring them; not speaking kindly enough to myself. And so I went deeper….
And when I thought I finally found true, deep self-love, the universe shone it’s light again!!! And another lesson was learnt, and another layer was shed…. And I persevered until one day it was just there… As though it had always been, even though I know it hadn’t.
It was a bit like what Jane Austen wrote in Pride and Prejudice, when Mr Darcy spoke of when he fell in love with Elizabeth;
“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that it I had begun”….
For me I was in the middle of authentic, real, self-love, before I realised I had finally found it. And now that I have, I want to share with you all that I’ve learnt, so that you get to feel what I feel; bliss, peace, trust, gratitude, and deep love for myself and life.
So here’s what you will experience when you take the leap and say yes to this journey…
Through this online event, which will run from Monday 27th June to Wednesday 6th July 2022, you will:
- Be CHALLENGED to lean into the discomfort required to grow and evolve as you learn what it takes to embody true self-love
- Be CONFRONTED with the internal dialogue that’s holding you back from deep self-love, and learn how to overcome this
- Be supported to take RADICAL RESPONSIBILITY for providing self-love, through a sense of ownership and empowerment
- DEVELOP the tools to speak to yourself like someone you love
- FEEL empowered to put yourself first, creating a sense of freedom, joy and wonder towards life
- TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and activate self-love!
I am so excited to see where your life heads after you complete this powerful, life changing challenge!!
But you may be wondering why I would give it to you for free and questioning whether it has the same value as my paid programs?
Let me tell you that this challenge and these techniques will be incorporated into my current paid programs, which are constantly evolving and improving, along with me. So by taking part in this challenge, you are experiencing a true and valuable Empowered by Shannon experience!
And why am I giving it away for free??
- I am here to help as many people as possible and not everyone has the resources to complete my paid programs, but they are just as worthy and deserving of support. So I’m paying forward the gifts that I’ve been given.
- We are all worthy and deserving of love! And if more and more people learn to love themselves, they will have more to bring to their relationships, their children, their family and friends, as well as showing kindness and love towards strangers (many who need it)!!! When you are abundant with love, it can’t help to spill over onto others. And I’m all about creating a better world!
- If you are truly committed to changing your life, I trust that when you see how powerful this body of work is, you will be back for more when the time is right!!!!

With love,
