You have been paying for it every month since.”Sit with these after you listen:• Who are you still carrying, and what has it cost you this year specifically?• What did you forgive too fast, because being angry felt more dangerous than beinghurt?• What would you spend the energy on if you put it down this week?DISCLAIMERThe content shared on Love Yourself Loudly is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

  Why Can't I Forgive Myself? Guilt, Shame, and How to Stop Punishing the Woman Who Didn't Know Better Yet 06.09.2026 22min

  Why Can't I Forgive Myself? Guilt, Shame, and How to Stop Punishing the Woman Who Didn't Know Better YetYou have forgiven people who never apologized to you, and you are still serving a sentence for something you did years ago. In this episode, Dr. Nina Polyné breaks down the difference between guilt and shame, why self forgiveness keeps failing when what you are actually carrying is grief, and how to be accountable and free at the same time instead of only ever being offered the first one. She also names the double standard underneath it: a man who was checked out during a hard season gets a chapter, and a woman in the same season gets a title that never expires. If you can recite your own case against yourself in full sentences, with dates, this one is for you.“You already served the sentence. You are just the only one who never scheduled the release.”Sit with these after you listen:What is the thing you have never once said out loud to another person, and how long have you been carrying it by yourself?Which version of yourself are you actually grieving, and what did you think she was going to be?What have you been withholding from yourself as punishment, and what would it take to give it back this week?DISCLAIMERThe content shared on Love Yourself Loudly is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

  You're Not Unlovable, You're Unchosen: Self Worth, Rejection, and Loving Yourself When Someone Doesn't Choose You 30.08.2026 29min

  You apologized, you did the work, and they still didn't come back. In this episode, Dr. Nina Polyné breaks down why rejection lands in your nervous system as danger instead of sadness, how self abandonment makes you quietly side with the person who left, and why being unchosen, whether that is family estrangement or someone who stays in your life and STILL never picks you, is not a verdict on your worth. She also names the double standard that turns a woman's broken relationship into her personal failure. If you have been holding your whole life in the waiting room until someone forgives you, start here.“Their 'no' is information about their capacity. It is not information about your worth.”Sit with these after you listen:What is one thing you have been postponing until this relationship gets resolved?What is a sentence you've been repeating about yourself that actually belongs to someone else, whether they walked away or never left?If your worth was already settled, and it is, what would you do differently this week?DISCLAIMERThe content shared on Love Yourself Loudly is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

It’s for the ones who apologize when they didn’t do anything wrong. The ones who shrink to keep the peace. The ones who feel other people’s bad days in their own bodies. If that’s you, keep listening.In this episode:The psychology of projection: why people deflect their insecurities and why sensitive people absorb themHow your nervous system receives criticism before your mind catches up, and the body-based reset that changes everythingBoundary-setting phrases that exit toxic dynamics without confrontation or debateHow to process your feelings after the moment passes, and why self-compassion has to come firstPeople pleasing, resentment, and the real cost of staying silent in relationshipsA personal story about a friendship that ended when Dr. Nina chose herself over the dynamic, and why she’d do it again“The longer you wait to have the conversation, the resentment builds. And eventually it becomes your weight to carry — not theirs.”Reflect on these after you listen:“Where in your life are you absorbing something that was never yours to carry?”“Is there a relationship where you’ve been holding your tongue — and what’s that costing you?”“What’s one small way you can practice having your own back this week?”Connect with Dr. Nina Polyné:All links (Linktree): https://linktr.ee/loveyourselfloudlymediaPodcast Instagram: @loveyourselfloudlypodcastPersonal Instagram: @drninapolynePersonal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dr-nina-polyné-48494934aCreative Direction, Producing + Editing by Dr. Nina Polyné ⚡Audio/Visual Engineering & mix by Joel Edinberg @joeledinbergPodcast Advisor: Marisa Bramwell, MBA https://solas-creative.com/Remember: Loving yourself loudly is a daily practice.

  You're Not Ungrateful, You're Grieving: The Hidden Loss Inside Every Life Transition 14.06.2026 16min

  You've been told to "count your blessings". To focus on the good. To be grateful. And, you are... but what nobody prepares you for is the grief that lives right next to the joy.Whether you just became a mom (or parent/caregiver), stepped into a new career, or leveled up in any way - if you're feeling a quiet sense of loss in the middle of something you've always wanted, this episode is for you. This episode is also for you if the change in your life was unexpected. Grief doesn't mean you're not grateful. It means you're human moving through the complexity of life. Let’s explore together!IN THIS EPISODE, DR. NINA COVERS:* Why every major life transition carries grief alongside the celebration, even the ones you chose and worked hard for* The two unhealthy responses to transition grief - toxic positivity and staying stuck - and why neither one actually heals you* A personal story: the morning routine Dr. Nina grieved when she became a mother, and how she learned to hold both loss and love at the same time* The career transition lens: what it looks like to grieve an identity tied to a role, a title, or a way of being seen in the world* What it actually means to "meet yourself" in a hard moment - and how that's what loving yourself loudly really looks likeJOURNAL QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION:Take these with you. Sit with them. You don't have to have the answers right away.What part of your old self, your old routine, identity, or life are you silently grieving right now? Have you given yourself permission to name it?When you feel grief alongside something good, do you tend to bypass it (tell yourself you should just be grateful) or do you get stuck in it? What does that pattern cost you?What would it look like to validate your own grief? Not to wallow in it, but to simply say: "This loss is real, and I'm allowed to feel it"?What are the two things that are both true for you right now? The joy AND the grief. Can you hold both without letting one cancel the other out?Who in your life makes you feel safe enough to say "I'm struggling with this transition", even when the transition looks like a blessing or incredible from the outside?REMEMBER:Loving yourself loudly is a daily practice. Embrace your imperfections, honor your emotions, and speak your truth with confidence. Start today, unapologetically.CONNECT WITH DR.

  Introducing: Love Yourself Loudly | Premiering June 7th 19.05.2026 1min

  Love Yourself Loudly with Dr. Nina PolynéWhy is it that we can say "I love my kids" or "I love my friend" out loud without flinching — but the moment someone says "I love myself," the room goes weird, and it feels cringe?I've been thinking about that for a long time.I'm Dr. Nina Polyné — couples psychologist, relationship expert, and someone who believes the most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.Every week on Love Yourself Loudly, we get into the real stuff: the things that make self-love feel scary, pretentious, or just plain hard. Short episodes. Real talk. A new lens on something you already feel. And hopefully, permission to define what loving yourself actually looks like — on your terms.This is not a destination I've arrived at. I'm in it too — figuring it out loud, right here with you, every week. This podcast is for personal reflection and real conversation — not therapy or clinical advice. If you're in a hard place, please reach out to a licensed professional. *New episodes every Sunday starting June 7th.* Let's do this — loudly and unapologetically.Follow the podcast on Instagram @loveyourselfloudlypodcast Follow Dr. Nina on Instagram @drninapolyne We want to hear from you!
