The way you love yourself shapes how you treat everyone else in your life. Darci Lang kicks off February, the month of love, by talking about self-love and why it matters more than we often realize. Self-love affects how we treat the person in the mirror, how we show up at work, how we lead others, and how we care for the people we love most. Darci shares her own journey from years of self-loathing, self-sabotage, and self-criticism to a place of radical self-love. It was not easy, and it did not happen overnight. She explains that true self-love is tested most when life gets hard, during difficult family situations, challenging work environments, or moments when your worth is questioned. In those moments, Darci asks herself a powerful question. What do I need to do right now to show myself love instead of falling back into old patterns? That question becomes a guide for choosing care, compassion, and strength rather than self-judgment. She invites you to reflect on your own life. Is a lack of self-love affecting how you work, lead, and connect with others? And what is one thing you could do today to show yourself more love?

Real change starts inside. Darci Lang continues the conversation about self-love by exploring what it really means to improve yourself. She shares a powerful quote from James Allen: people are anxious to improve their circumstances, but they are not willing to improve themselves. And the reason is simple. It is hard work. Darci explains that working on self-love and personal growth takes courage and honesty. It is much easier to focus on changing the people and situations around us than it is to look inward. She offers a simple and practical exercise to help you start. First, make a list of everything you are great at. Your strengths, your wins, and the things you are proud of. Even if it feels uncomfortable, do it anyway. Keep that list somewhere safe so you can return to it on hard days. Then, make a second list. Identify the areas where you want to grow. What might be holding you back? What feels like it is impacting your circumstances? Choose the things you can control and begin working on them one step at a time. Improving yourself is not about judgment. It is about awareness, growth, and learning to love yourself more fully.

Self-care is not about escaping your life. It is about caring for yourself in the middle of it. Darci Lang talks about self-care and what it really means. After exploring self-love last week, this conversation goes deeper into the daily choices that help us care for the person in the mirror. Darci shares that being positive and well does not come naturally or easily. It takes intention and effort. Self-care is not just vacations, spa days, or treats, even though those can be lovely. For her, it is the hundreds of small decisions made every day, from what she looks at on her phone in the morning to the peaceful routines she follows before bed. She explains that true self-care is built through consistency. It is found in how we start our day, how we speak to ourselves, how we manage our energy, and how we wind down at night. These small choices shape how we feel and how we show up for others. Darci invites you to try a simple practice this week. As you move through your day, pause and ask yourself, is there a way I could do this with a little more care and love for myself? Self-care is not one big act. It is the accumulation of small, thoughtful choices.

If you are the business, then taking care of yourself is not optional, it is the work. Darci Lang talks directly to business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders about something we often forget. You are the money-making machine. Darci shares a moment from a financial services conference where she was introduced as exactly that, and it stuck with her for a reason. When you work for yourself, there is no separation between the machine and the business. If you go down, everything goes down with you. That is why caring for the person in the mirror is not just personal; it is critical to your success. Darci explains how feeling rested, nourished, and taken care of directly impacts creativity, energy, and the ability to manage a demanding schedule. When she feels well, ideas flow, decisions are clearer, and the work feels sustainable. When she does not, everything feels heavier. She challenges you to reflect on your own life and business. Are you treating yourself like the most valuable asset you have? Because all the goals, targets, and plans in the world do not matter if the machine running them is exhausted. Take care of yourself now, so you are healthy enough to enjoy everything you are working so hard to build.

If you want to see more kindness in the world, you have to be willing to create it first. Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, and Darci Lang believes it is a reminder the world needs more often. She reflects on a powerful idea shared by one of her favourite podcasters, Sahara Rose. What we want to see end, we must create the opposite of. Darci shares that if we want less unkindness, less harmful behaviour, and less negativity in the world, then we need to lead with kindness ourselves. Not just today, but every day. Kindness does not have to be big or complicated. It can be paying for someone’s coffee, using please and thank you, offering patience, or choosing compassion in a moment where it would be easier not to. She invites you to think about how you show up for the people around you. What small act of kindness could you choose today that might change someone’s experience, including your own? Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day. May it be more than a moment and become a way of living.

Your thoughts can either protect you or quietly sabotage you, and learning to love them changes everything. Darci Lang closes out the month of love by talking about something deeply personal: how our thoughts shape how we feel about ourselves. She shares a moment from a retreat in the mountains after delivering a powerful presentation. Everything in her life was going well. She had time, space, and a beautiful day ahead. And yet, as she hiked up the mountain, her mind began to sabotage the moment. Fear crept in. Self-doubt showed up. Her thoughts focused on what she forgot to say and the one person in the audience who did not seem engaged. Even in a place of peace, her brain tried to steal the joy. Darci explains that this is the 10% at work. That part of the brain is not trying to harm us. It is trying to keep us safe. The problem comes when it runs the day. Instead of fighting those thoughts, she now looks at them and says thank you for trying to protect me, but I am okay and I can handle this. She invites you to reflect on your own experience. What thoughts are running your day right now? Are you living from the 10 percent or choosing the 90 percent? Learning to love your thoughts may be one of the most powerful forms of self-care.

When challenges hit, most of us send the lowest version of ourselves to deal with them. What if you learned to choose differently? In the first episode of their Well-Being series, Darci and Darren Lang explore a problem we all face. When we get triggered, frustrated, or overwhelmed, we stop thinking from the highest part of our brain. Instead, we react from the lowest version of ourselves, the part that is driven by fear, anger, impatience, and impulse. Darci and Darren walk through a real example from their own marriage and explain how a small moment of frustration can send both people into a downward spiral. They break down what happens in the brain, why we lose access to patience and logic, and how quickly low emotions take over. They share a simple two-step method called Chill and Choose. First, chill. Pause long enough for your nervous system to settle so you do not react from fear or anger. Then choose. Once you return to the higher part of your brain, you can choose empathy, patience, or perspective. This shift changes your impact and changes the outcome. Join Darci and Darren as they continue this series on real-life challenges, wellbeing, and practical tools for living from your highest self.

In this episode of the Well-Being series, Darren and Darci Lang talk about what it really means to give the best of yourself to the people you love most. Many of us show up at work positively and professionally all day, only to arrive home depleted, impatient, or focused on what we didn't get done. Darci shares how she practices her 90% message at home, especially after travelling for work. She explains how easy it is to arrive with a list, questions, and expectations, and how that mindset can quietly erode connection. Instead, she chooses to pause, focus on what is good and done, and intentionally bring her best self through the door. Together, Darci and Darren Lang reflect on how small moments matter. A text sent from the airport. A pause before opening the door. A conscious decision to lead with appreciation instead of frustration. These choices change how it feels to come home and how relationships are nurtured over time. This conversation is a reminder that well-being is not only about how we show up in the world, but also about preserving enough of ourselves for the people who matter most.
