163: The Art of Truly Loving Yourself As A Gay Man – Jerome Braggs
As RuPaul sez, "If you can't love yourself, how the hell you going to love someone else?" But what many of us as gay men don't realize is when we love ourselves, all is well, all is coming, all is delicious. Our guest today, Jerome Braggs, guides, teaches, and illuminates ways for us as gay men to step into the powerful space of loving ourselves fully. About Jerome In 2004, Jerome checked into the hospital with what he thought was the flu, but instead got diagnosed with anemia, pancreatitis, giardia, pneumonia, kidney failure and AIDS. Then, doctors gave him seven days to live. Using what he knew about the Law of Attraction, he miraculously healed himself after three months, and thought he knew the answer to healing, manifestation, and wellness, until he found himself back in that same hospital, with the exact same diagnosis, a year and half later. But this time, doctors gave him 48 hours to live. On his deathbed, he had a Near Death Experience (NDE), where he was told by Source that the true key to healing and wellbeing was to: “wholly love yourself.” After that NDE, he began a mystical journey with self-love where he learned to heal himself, and miraculously transform his entire life into something more well and delicious than he could have ever imagined. Since then, he has heeded the call to share his miraculous story, and this sacred + transformative lesson: “When we love ourselves, all is well, all is coming, and all is delicious. But not a moment before.” Connect With Jerome Website Facebook Instagram Hey Guys, Check This Out! Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?

Ok I took some liberties with that one, but you know RuPaul would agree with those sentiments too. Now listen and learn how to R-E-S-P-E-C-T yourself.

Like it or not, all of us gay men are aging. It's a conveyor belt and there is nothing we can do about it. Nor should we feel pressure to do something about it.

Then others do what they do to ensure they take the best care of their bodies in a way that suits them.
