Hey beautiful,
I’m so glad you’re here. Really. Writing this feels like I’m sitting across from you, cups between us, hair up, no makeup, just real talk. So if you’re reading this, welcome into my world, my storm, and most importantly, my heart.
I want to tell you about something that means everything to me — the 15 Self-Love Superpowers. They’re more than just cute words or pretty ideas I put in a journal. They’re pieces of my own journey… battle scars, little victories, the messy lessons I learned (and am still learning) about loving myself, caring for myself, and fighting for my mental health.
Why 15? Why these?
I didn’t pull these superpowers out of thin air. They were born from nights I cried on my bathroom floor, days when I couldn’t find my smile, and tiny moments of hope that refused to let me drown. Every “superpower” is something I had to build with my own two hands — sometimes shaky, sometimes stubborn, always reaching for something better.
But I didn’t build them alone. My husband — that man is my rock. Even when I was trying to stubbornly carry everything by myself, he was right there, holding out his hands, steady and sure. He’s always seen me as the SEXIEST, SMARTEST, and BEST thing to walk this earth, even when I couldn’t see it or feel it for myself. His love reminded me that even when we’re fighting our hardest battles, having someone believe in you can be a lifeline.
And then there’s my kids — my gorgeous rays of sunshine. This fight, this journey, made me determined to show them how special they are. I wanted them to know deep in their bones that they could do anything they wanted. (Even when I have to bite my tongue at the fierce independence I raised in them!) What’s wild and beautiful is how they’ve fed that same love right back to me — telling me to smile, telling me I’m gorgeous, on the days I was struggling most. The seeds of love and encouragement I planted in them have bloomed into a garden I can rest in too.
That’s why growing our support system matters. Collecting those people who help us stand when our knees are wobbly. Those who remind us we are not alone when life feels like too much. For those who aren’t married, who don’t have kids or aren’t close to their family, REMEMBER family isn’t always those who are your BLOOD. Your family can be the one you made because they love you, support you and stand with you!
When I thought about what self-love really looks like — not the Instagram version, but the behind-the-scenes, messy, human version — it wasn’t one thing. It was layers. It was:
- Having boundaries even when people didn’t understand.
- Finding confidence on days I didn’t recognize myself.
- Learning forgiveness (especially for my own mistakes).
- Holding onto hope when anxiety screamed louder.
- Building courage when the world told me to shrink.
And on and on.
These 15 powers are all pieces of self-love, self-care, and mental health woven together — not perfect, but powerful because they are real.
How they connect to self-love, self-care, and mental health
Self-love isn’t just bubble baths and candles (though don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love a good bubble bath). It’s hard, gritty work. It’s standing in the mirror and choosing to stay even when everything inside wants to run. It’s giving yourself the same grace you’d give your best friend. It’s knowing that your mental health matters and that you are worthy of the fight it sometimes takes to protect it.
Self-care isn’t just spa days; it’s setting a boundary without apologizing. It’s calling your therapist. It’s journaling your ugly truths and still writing “I love you” to yourself at the end.
Mental health? It’s stitched into every superpower. It’s why I created them — to remind myself (and you) that loving yourself is not selfish, it’s survival.
The 15 Self-Love Superpowers
I’m going to introduce each one in the blog over time, but just know this: each superpower is a tool, a weapon, and a love letter to the parts of us still healing.
You don’t have to master them all at once. Start where you are. Love yourself wildly right there.
Because if nobody told you yet today — you are worthy, you are magic, and you have so much storm and shine inside of you.
Thank you for being part of this. Thank you for choosing yourself. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.
This storm didn’t break you. It built you.
Always in your corner,
— Jasmine
