From Self-Loathing to Self-Love — Geneen Roth's 40-Year Journey with Geneen Roth

About this episode

Cynthia James interviews Geneen Roth about her journey from self-loathing to self-love and the impact of childhood wounds on women's lives.

Self-love begins the moment a woman stops believing she is unworthy of it. In this episode of Women Awakening, Cynthia James sits down with Geneen Roth, author of eleven books, including Women, Food, and God and Love Finally. Geneen shares the deeply personal journey that transforms decades of self-loathing, eating disorders, and unresolved pain into healing, freedom, and self-acceptance. You’ll discover how self-rejection quietly influences relationships, body image, and the search for love. Geneen explores how childhood wounds become lifelong beliefs, why true healing begins by dismantling those inner conclusions, and how releasing blame creates space for compassion, authenticity, and peace. This conversation is for women ready to stop carrying shame and release the weight of old stories. Tune in to the full episode and visit https://www.cynthiajames.net/ Enjoy the podcast?
