The Polynesian Life Coach

Unpopular opinion: I don’t believe in unconditional love when it comes to relationships with other people. In this episode, I unpack why unconditional love is often romanticised in a way that actually teaches women to tolerate disrespect, overgive, and abandon themselves in the name of being “loving.” We dive into: – How “loving unconditionally” can keep women stuck in unhealthy dynamics – The difference between real love and self abandonment – Why healthy relationships require respect, safety, and aligned behaviour You can love people deeply… AND still have standards. You can care about someone… AND still choose yourself.

Hey queen! In this episode we talk about identity, ancestry, and the power of reconnecting to your roots as a pathway to deeper self worth and confidence. When you disconnect from your culture, you can start to disconnect from yourself. And when you reconnect, you remember who you are. You remember your strength. You remember your belonging. This episode is for the woman who feels caught between worlds, who wants to feel more grounded in her heritage, and who knows there’s something powerful about reclaiming her culture.

Love yourself enough to be seen. Not when you lose the weight. Not when you’re more confident. Not when you’ve “fixed” yourself. NOW! In this episode, I’m talking about self love, confidence, visibility, and why so many women shrink themselves in relationships, at work, online, and even in their own lives. We hide our bodies. We silence our opinions. We play small so we don’t make other people uncomfortable. But shrinking is self abandonment. If you struggle with body image, self worth, people pleasing, fear of judgment, or holding yourself back from your next level this conversation is for you. You’ll learn: 🧡 Why you’re afraid to be fully seen 🧡 How low self esteem shows up in subtle ways 🧡 The connection between confidence and visibility 🧡 Actionable steps to overcome hiding 🧡 How to stop hiding and take up space This is about loving yourself enough to wear the outfit, start the business, speak up in the meeting, post the photo, set the boundary, and live boldly. You don’t need to change yourself to be worthy.You need to stop hiding. And if you’re ready to work on this and become the most confident version of yourself.

What if self love isn’t about getting it right but about letting yourself be bad while you learn? In this episode, we’re talking about why so many women stay stuck, silent, and small because they’re terrified of being seen trying. Perfectionism, people pleasing, and the fear of embarrassment keep women in a chokehold. So we avoid starting. We avoid learning. We avoid becoming. But confidence isn’t built by waiting until you’re ready. It’s built by being willing to look messy, awkward, and inexperienced and choosing yourself anyway. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ Why being “bad” at something is a self love act ✨ How perfectionism keeps you disconnected from your power ✨ What it really means to support yourself instead of punish yourself ✨ How to start before you feel confident If you’ve been holding yourself back because you don’t want to fail, be judged, or look silly this episode is for you. And if you’re ready to build a healthier relationship with yourself, your emotions, and your confidence this is the work we do together.

Boundaries are not about being mean. They are about self respect. In this episode, we talk about why so many women struggle to hold boundaries, how people pleasing affects confidence and self worth, and why boundaries are a non negotiable part of self love and emotional healing. I share real examples from my own life — why I didn’t rebook a podcast after being stood up, why I didn’t speak to my parents for years, and how learning to honour my boundaries helped me rebuild confidence and self trust. If you’re ready to stop self abandoning, set healthy boundaries, heal people pleasing patterns, and choose yourself without guilt, this episode is for you.

Self love isn’t avoiding your emotions, it’s learning how to feel them safely and without shame. In this episode, Love Yourself Enough to Feel Your Feelings Instead of Numbing Out, I talk about why so many women disconnect from their emotions, how emotional suppression impacts confidence and body image, and why feeling your feelings is a core part of real self love. You’ll learn: • why avoiding emotions keeps you stuck in self criticism • how “staying busy” can be a form of emotional numbing • the link between confidence, self worth, and emotional awareness • how to practise self love by allowing your feelings instead of fighting them If you’ve been told to “just think positive” while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck this episode is for you.

Eating well isn’t about being “good,” following rules, or fixing your body. It’s about caring for yourself in a way that supports your energy, mood, and life. In this episode, we talk about what eating well actually means when you’re done with diets, food guilt, and all or nothing thinking. We cover: • why eating well has nothing to do with restriction • how food became moralised and tied to self worth • the difference between nourishment and control • how to eat in a way that feels supportive, not obsessive • simple mindset shifts to build trust with food again This conversation is for the woman who’s tired of swinging between “being good” and “falling off,” and wants a calmer, more respectful relationship with food. You don’t need another plan. You need safety, consistency, and permission to care for yourself.

So many women ignore aches, pains, and symptoms because they’ve learned to minimise themselves. In this episode, we talk about why we put off going to the doctor, brushing things off as “nothing,” or telling ourselves we’re overreacting even when our body is clearly asking for attention. We unpack: • why so many women delay getting checked • the fear of being dismissed or not taken seriously • the reality of fatphobia in healthcare and why that doesn’t mean you deserve less care • how self love looks like advocating for your body • why getting checked early is an act of self respect This is about listening to your body and trusting that you are worthy of being cared for properly. If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling small, unheard, or ashamed, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep navigating that on your own. If you need support learning how to trust yourself, speak up, and advocate for your body this is the work we do together inside Destination Self Love. 👉 Join here:⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/ ⁠⁠⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepolynesianlifecoach⁠ You deserve care.

Movement was never meant to be a punishment. But for so many women, it became something they forced themselves to do instead of something that supported them. In this episode, we talk about why moving your body matters (not for weight loss but for confidence, mental health, and self love) You’ll hear: • why it’s important to move your body in a way that supports your life• how to move your body without punishment or shame• simple mindset shifts around exercise and motivation• practical tips and tricks to help you get moving even when you don’t feel like it This conversation is for the woman who wants to feel strong, energised, and connected to her body again without turning movement into another thing to be “good” or “bad” at.
