When Self-Hatred and Self-Judgment Rob You of Another Day

Self-hatred is not yours to carry. It was placed there - by somone else - not you. Trauma, neglect, and oppression distort how we see ourselves, burying our inner light under layers of shame and survival. Look as the tactic of opressor to keep you caged and exiled so they can take more space, not you. But that brilliance—the part of you that was silenced—never truly disappeared.  In this episode of Exiled & Rising, Ana Mael guides you through a deep reflection on reclaiming your self-worth. This is not about forced self-love or toxic positivity. It’s about witnessing yourself again—beyond the judgment, beyond the pain, beyond what others made you believe about yourself.
