The Empowered Adoptee Podcast

How To Cultivate Unshakable Self-Love As An Adoptee

Claire Magenheimer and Laurie Vogler Season 2 Episode 6

In this episode, we dive deep into the journey of self-love from the unique perspective of Korean adoptees. Self-love isn’t just about bubble baths and positive affirmations—it’s about creating safety, trust, and embodiment. Join us as we share our personal experiences and practical tips for cultivating a deep and unconditional love for ourselves.


What you can expect to hear in this Episode:

•Creating Safety & Trust for Embodiment – Feeling safe in our own bodies and experiences is the foundation of self-love.

•Getting to Know Ourselves – How can we love ourselves if we don’t truly know who we are?

•Understanding Our Emotional Triggers – Our triggers are clues guiding us toward what still needs healing.

•Practicing Unconditional Self-Love – Loving ourselves through all of our seasons, not just when we feel “worthy.”

•Taking Responsibility for Our Healing – Our trauma isn’t our fault, but healing is our responsibility. Choosing to do the work is choosing ourselves.

•Rebuilding Self-Trust – Learning to listen to our needs, feelings, and emotions while showing up for ourselves consistently.

•Protecting Ourselves with Boundaries – Boundaries create safety, both internally and in our relationships.

•Practicing Self-Care – Checking in with ourselves, meeting our own needs, and regulating our nervous system.

•Finding Evidence That We Are Lovable – We are already worthy of love, and we can seek out proof of that in our everyday lives.

Self-love is a lifelong journey, and as adoptees, we often face unique challenges in feeling secure in our identity and worth. But through awareness, intentional practice, and deep self-compassion, we can cultivate a love for ourselves that is unshakable.

Tune in as we share our insights, experiences, and encouragement for anyone on this path.
