Episode 3141:
In part one, Sabrina shares how she began learning to love herself unconditionally during a blood cancer diagnosis at nineteen, starting with the decision to stop reopening old wounds from years of family conflict. She explains why the shame, self-blame, and self-pity she carried kept her from accepting herself, and what shifted once she gave herself permission to let those wounds finally heal. It is an honest opening to a story about the relationship that shapes every other one.
