Love That Starts With You
|
Hi Free Spirit! With Valentine’s season around the corner, love is everywhere. Most of it points toward romance and being chosen by someone else. But there is another kind of love that matters just as much. The kind that starts with you. We are taught that love is something we receive from another person. But real love begins with how you treat yourself. It lives in your choices, your boundaries, and whether you honor what feels true. Self love is not just kind moments or positive thoughts. It is self trust. It is self respect. It is listening to your inner voice and taking it seriously. It looks like saying no when something feels wrong. Love is not only about connection with someone else. It is about connection with yourself. When you trust yourself, you stop abandoning your desires. This season, instead of asking who will love you, try asking something different. How can I show up for myself today? Because the deepest form of love is not being chosen. It is choosing yourself. The episodes this week offer grounded, thoughtful perspectives on healing, resilience, and living on your own terms.
Warmly, Kristyn |

In her 20s, she moved to Montenegro for love. A fresh start. A new country. A new chapter. She woke up one morning after a perfect day… and her boyfriend was gone. A sudden clot took his life. One day she was building a future. The next day she was standing in the ruins of it. And here is what...
Listen to the show Hi Free Spirit! After interviewing dozens of guests on Flying Upstream, I started noticing something surprising. Patterns. Different lives.Different paths.But the same truths kept appearing. Founders who walked away from success.Athletes who rebuilt after injury.Veterans who turned pain into purpose.Entrepreneurs who left careers that looked perfect on paper. People who chose to live differently. After all these conversations, five lessons kept rising to the surface. Not...
🎧 Listen to the show Hi Free Spirit! Pressure shows up quietly. It sounds like, “You should be further by now.”It looks like scrolling and measuring your life against someone else’s highlight reel.It feels like urgency that does not belong to you. Society loves a timeline. Graduate by this age. Build by that age. Partner by then. Earn more. Move faster. Catch up. But whose clock are you racing? Comparison creates the illusion that success has a universal deadline. It does not. Real success...
