#22 Love Yourself, Fiercely
Nadia Adan
February 02, 2026
Hello Sunshine,
A new month, full of potential. How will you make it count?
Remember: You are magic today, tomorrow and every day.
This month, I want to focus on the importance of loving yourself, genuinely and fiercely.
Key Takeaways
Self-love isn’t always easy, but it’s where everything begins.
The way we speak to ourselves shapes how we show up in the world.
Writing to yourself with compassion can be a powerful act of healing.
February is a perfect time to honour the version of you that already exists
How can we expect others to love us if we don’t love ourselves?
We hear this all the time.
And yes, I agree. But let’s be honest, sometimes it’s hard to love yourself. And it’s even harder to love yourself with the same wholeness you love others.
We are naturally harder and less forgiving with ourselves. I don’t know why this is, but I see it all the time. In my clients, my friends, and sometimes, in myself.
What’s funny is that when we do start loving ourselves, showing real compassion and love, doing things that make us feel good and aligned, we tend to attract what we deserve and most desire.
Two years ago, before I started prioritising GrowwithNadiaAdan, I wrote myself this love letter:
Dear Nadia,
I appreciate you.
My warm smile and welcoming embrace can change the day; please don’t take their power for granted. My kindness and empathy are second to none and I love that about me.
I give those I love so much and I expect nothing in return. Thank you for being so genuine and authentic in the way you treat others. My positive energy is contagious.
I love that I can be silly and remember often to connect with my inner child. She has a space in my present and makes life more joyful.
Listening is something I am so good at! I am not judgmental, and I create a safe space. Please keep listening to yourself and following your heart. I have the passion and perseverance to make good things happen.
Keep talking to the universe. Keep thanking the sun for showing up and making moon wishes; you are unique and I love that about you.
Let your hair be frizzy. Keep make-up-free. Laugh often. Dance too, and when few are around, sing your heart out.
Never change the person you are because a lot of people love you just the way you are.
I love you today, and I love you every day.
Love,
Nadia
Looking back on this letter brings a huge smile to my face, and honestly, happy tears to my eyes. How beautiful to speak to myself in such a positive and reaffirming way?
I’m going to write myself another one 😊
My monthly challenge is to write a love letter to yourself. That’s it.
If you don't know where to start, imagine you're writing to your best friend.
And remember, February is often filled with pressure around Valentine's Day and showing love to others. But before you focus outwards, take a moment to honour yourself.
You don't need to become someone else to be worthy. You already are.
Hit reply and let me know how you found the experience.
This month's journaling prompt:
What would I tell my younger self about the person I'm becoming?
Take 10 minutes with this. Let whatever comes up flow onto the page without judgement.
Shine bright.
Want to go deeper this month?
I'm hosting a free workshop on Reframing Success on Thursday, February 20th at 4pm PST (7pm EST).
Have you ever felt successful on paper but lost on the inside?
Or found yourself chasing goals that don't actually light you up?
In this 75-minute interactive workshop, you'll discover:
☀️ What success actually means to YOU (not society's definition)
☀️ The hidden blocks keeping you from YOUR version of success
☀️ How to stop comparing yourself to everyone else's highlight reel
☀️ Practical steps to take action towards aligned success
Can't make it live? Register anyway, and you'll get the recording within 24 hours.
This workshop is perfect if you're tired of measuring yourself against other people's benchmarks or if you're ready to define success on your own terms.
Monthly book recommendations:
Each month, I share three books that have sparked something for me. Whether that’s a new perspective, a quiet nudge, or a proper belly laugh. Here's this month's mix:
Untamed by Glennon Doyle. A powerful invitation to listen to your inner knowing to bring real joy and peace to our lives.
Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. A real-talk reminder that your life is yours to define.
The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman. Science and storytelling on how to build real self-confidence.

Hi, I’m Nadia!
I started my personal growth journey when I realised that, even with all I’d achieved, I wasn’t truly clear on what I wanted. That sparked a deep dive into self-discovery, and along the way, I discovered and studied tools that helped me reconnect with myself, and now I support other women to do the same.
If you’re ready to find more clarity, book a free clarity call, I’d love to support you.
