From Permission to Love to Personal Mastery: A New Chapter Begins

 Today is a moment that I want to honor with a deep sense of gratitude — the final episode under the Permission to Love name. 

Starting next week, this podcast will officially become Personal Mastery with Jerry Henderson. 

In this episode I reflect on the journey we've taken together — healing shame, cultivating self-love, and building lives aligned from the inside out. 

I also shares why self-love remains the foundation of everything moving forward and why giving yourself permission to love yourself might be the bravest thing you ever do.

Join us as we celebrate how far we've come — and step boldly into what's next.

In this Episode You’ll Discover:

• Why the podcast name is changing (and why the mission isn't)

• The power of giving yourself permission to love yourself

• How shame keeps you stuck (and how self-love sets you free)

• Why personal mastery starts with radical self-acceptance

• A powerful affirmation you can say today to change your life

 If you’ve ever struggled with feeling "not enough" — this episode is for you.
