Ep 34 | The Value of Self-Loyalty with Nancy Jane Smith

In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Kim has the distinct pleasure of talking with Nancy Jane Smith. Nancy is a Licensed Professional Counselor with thirteen years in private practice, and has spent an impressive 20-plus years working as a counselor and coach. She has written three books on living happier, most notably The Happier Approach: Be Kind to Yourself, Feel Happier and Still Accomplish Your Goals. Nancy is also a certified Myers-Briggs®, Strong Career Assessments®, and Daring Way™ Facilitator.

In this episode, Nancy explains the term “self-loyalty.” In her work, she finds that loyalty is one of her clients’ highest core values. “We know how to be loyal to our mothers, fathers, spouses, children, friends, work, organizations, etc. We can give loyalty to other people, but we struggle to give it to ourselves.”

Nancy breaks down this term and helps us understand how to practice more self-compassion while giving us strategies for dealing with our inner critic so we can begin to choose self-loyalty.

Tune in to hear Nancy share:

How self-love and self-loyalty go hand-in-hand.
Why the root of our problems always come back to self-loyalty.
Why self-compassion is difficult for us.
Strategies to change our inner critic voice.
How to not turn your back on yourself.

“Self loyalty is not turning your back on yourself.” - Nancy Jane Smith
