In today’s episode, Alyssa Rae talks about the importance of self-acceptance and self-love in college. Let’s be real, self-acceptance and self-love are important at every stage in our lives, but while we’re in college, it can be extremely hard to practice acceptance and love for ourselves even though we can easily give it to those around us. As a student, it can be so easy to forget to take care of yourself as you’re expected to balance school work, socializing, exercising, and building a resume all at once. The immense amount of pressure put on us during this time in our lives leaves us with little personal time to reflect, relax and practice self-care. So let's talk about it!
