Love Is the Answer But It's Not Always the Solution | #38 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn 🌞

You can’t love someone enough to make them love themselves. And, if someone doesn’t love themselves, they’re not going to do the things they need to do to have a healthy relationship with you.

I know this first hand. I didn’t even like myself until I was 35 years old. True story. I also had never had a healthy relationship.

I honestly didn’t know I was toxic. I was too busy feeling like a victim to my circumstances to even realize that I wasn’t loving myself.

Maybe you’re waiting for someone else to love you before you feel worthy of love? That’s a tough place to sit – trust me.

What ends up happening is you get needy and that manifests in ugly social skills, especially in romantic relationships.

If you’re with someone who doesn’t love themselves all that might sound familiar.

People-pleasing, beating themselves up all the time, putting up with toxic relationships, putting others ahead of their own needs – are all indicators that someone doesn’t love themselves enough to do what they need to do to have healthy relationships with others.

So, what can you do? If it’s you – hit the books – my book even, videos – I have over 200. Seek out any source of learning you can tap into. Try some stuff, keep trying until something clicks.

If it’s someone that you know, wish them well and go on with your life. Or pull up a chair - because you’ll be stuck in their classroom until you do.

About the Author

Dawn Super is an empowerment coach, speaker, and writer who helps people thrive — not someday, but right now, exactly as they are. She knows firsthand what it’s like to live with lifelong health challenges, including narcolepsy, and has made it her mission to teach others how to show up for themselves with compassion, courage, and a little bit of humor and sass.
Known for her “mindset magic strategies,” Dawn brings a blend of practical tools, soulful insight, and real-talk encouragement to anyone ready to stop waiting for permission to love themselves. Her work speaks especially to those who’ve felt left out, misunderstood, or stuck on the sidelines — the misfits, the dreamers, the rebels, and the overcomers.
When she’s not coaching, creating, or writing, you might find her meditating at the beach, virtually socializing, or laughing (probably at one of her own jokes). Dawn believes that self-love isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a radical act of rebellion in a world that profits from your doubt.
