In a recent episode of The You World Order Showcase Podcast, Jill Hart hosted Carin LaCount, an inspiring author and self-love coach. Carin’s work goes far beyond the surface-level notions of self-love that dominate social media. Her transformative approach delves into the deep spiritual essence of self-love, intertwining it with the concept of being an “old soul” and embracing the lessons of past lives. This blog explores the rich insights shared during their conversation.
Carin explains that self-love often gets conflated with self-care activities like spa days or pampering oneself. While these acts are nurturing, they only scratch the surface. True self-love, as Carin defines it, is about connecting with the divine love that forms the core of our being. It requires becoming aware of and dismantling the barriers of guilt, shame, and negative self-talk, allowing the innate love within us to flow freely.
She emphasizes:
“Self-love isn’t about deserving love—it’s about realizing that love is who we are.”
Drawing from A Course in Miracles, Carin highlights how the ego creates illusions of separation and unworthiness. These illusions lead to fear-driven behaviors that block our connection to love. By recognizing these patterns, we can shift from aligning with fear to aligning with love in every decision we make.
Carin’s advice:
“In every moment, we have a choice: to align with fear or to align with love. Awareness of this choice can transform our lives.”
Carin’s story is one of resilience and self-discovery. Losing her mother at a young age, struggling with codependency, and enduring an emotionally taxing marriage shaped her early life. These experiences led to physical manifestations of emotional pain, including an autoimmune condition that nearly took her life.
Her turning point came in an ambulance ride where she realized that her healing required not just physical interventions but a radical shift in her relationship with herself. This awakening inspired her to explore self-love deeply and eventually write her book, which serves as a guide for others seeking to reconnect with their inner love.
Carin challenges the misconception that spirituality and science are at odds. Citing quantum physics, she notes that the vast majority of an atom is energy, not matter. This energy, she believes, is the essence of divine love.
“We are made of energy, and that energy is love. When we understand this, we can begin to see ourselves and the world differently.”
Carin introduces the concept of “old souls,” individuals who have lived many lives and carry the wisdom of these experiences. Old souls often have heightened empathy and a deep yearning for purpose but may also struggle with complacency and anxiety.
Key characteristics of old souls include:
Carin explains that old souls have chosen their lives and circumstances to learn specific lessons, often aimed at fostering altruism and spiritual growth.
Carin offers a multi-faceted coaching approach that combines her course, group sessions, and one-on-one guidance. Her program begins with foundational concepts of self-love, energy management, and past-life understanding. This groundwork allows clients to explore their challenges and decisions through a lens of love versus fear.
Her ultimate goal is to help individuals:
Carin believes that embracing self-love not only transforms individuals but also has a profound impact on society. When we align with love, we release judgment, fear, and insecurity, fostering greater harmony in our relationships and communities.
As she aptly puts it:
“The more we love ourselves, the more love we have to give the world. This shift from fear to love has the power to heal not just individuals, but society as a whole.”
Carin offers a free guide titled The 5 Subconscious Saboteurs of the Old Soul. This resource helps individuals identify common challenges faced by old souls and provides practical strategies to overcome them.
