I I’m Silke, and before I ever created a self-love tour, I had to learn what it meant to love myself.

And trust me, that journey wasn’t pretty.

I’ve spent parts of my life searching for validation, trying to be everything to everybody, and losing pieces of myself along the way. I’ve experienced addiction, brokenness, difficult relationships, and moments when I wasn’t sure I’d find my way back.

But on January 26, 2022, my journey took a different turn.

Recovery taught me something I wasn’t prepared for: putting down the alcohol didn’t automatically mean I knew how to love myself. I still had to confront the patterns, insecurities, fears, and behaviors that existed long before the drinking.

And that’s where the real work began.

I created Silke’s Self-Love Tour because I believe self-love isn’t a destination you magically arrive at. It’s a journey filled with stops, detours, roadblocks, and lessons you never saw coming.

Through storytelling, honest reflections, speaking engagements, and self-love resources, my mission is to encourage others to stop abandoning themselves while trying to find love, acceptance, and belonging everywhere else.

I’m not here because I’ve mastered self-love.

I’m here because I’m still learning to choose myself.

And if you’re ready, there’s room for you on this tour, too.

Welcome aboard. We’re choosing ourselves this time.
