The Self-Love Game

A welcoming mountain porch with several small, playful choices for everyday care

Self-love is often presented as an instruction—love yourself more—without giving us a humane way to practice. The Self-Love Game turns it into an experiment we can actually play, learn from, and adapt.

Cathy created and led the game with Rick. These four conversations explore how to make self-love winnable, use self-discovery as information, meet the parts that resist care, and continue when change feels too slow.

There is no score to prove and no perfect streak to maintain. Begin with one expression of love your real self might welcome today.
