The Love You More Strategy: The Counterintuitive Truth | Toye Penny #social333podcast #155
In this episode of the Social 333 Podcast, host Chris D. Bentley sits down with Toye Penny to discuss the counterintuitive idea behind the Love You More Strategy—why taking better care of yourself can actually make you a stronger leader, parent, entrepreneur, and partner.
Toye is the creator of The Love You More Method™ and founder of Love You More International™, where her work centers on helping high-performing mothers and leaders move away from overwhelm, silent pressure, and constant self-sacrifice toward greater self-mastery, well-being, and sustainable leadership.
The conversation explores why constantly putting everyone else first can eventually damage your own performance and the people who depend on you. Instead of viewing self-care as selfish, Toye explains why protecting your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being creates the capacity to lead and support others more effectively.
They also explore burnout, identity, motherhood, leadership pressure, emotional resilience, healthy boundaries, and why looking successful on the outside does not necessarily mean someone is doing well internally.
Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, parent, or leader carrying more responsibility than most people realize, this conversation challenges the belief that sacrificing yourself is the price of success.
