179 The Relationship You’re Neglecting the Most

About this episode

In this episode, Kaitie Entrikin and Alysia Lyons discuss the importance of applying love languages to oneself for better self-care and mental health.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I’m joined again by Alysia Lyons for a conversation that completely flips the script on self-care by taking the Five Love Languages and turning them inward. We talk about how most of us were taught to show love to others, but never learned how to give that same love to ourselves, and how that disconnect fuels guilt, burnout, and relentless self-criticism. Alysia breaks down how applying your personal love language to yourself can become a powerful, practical way to build self-trust, soften negative self-talk, and actually feel cared for without adding more to your to-do list. We dig into parenting, guilt, inner child work, why self-love is a practice and not a switch you flip, and how real support accelerates healing. This one is honest, funny, and deeply grounding, especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything for everyone else while running on empty. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.
