Losing Yourself in Love With Maurice Hunter
Episode 16
Sunday, 15 March, 2026

What if the love you’ve been searching for your whole life was already inside you?Today I’m sitting down with my friend Maurice, an incredible artist whose work is rooted in one powerful idea: self-love. What started as a letter he wrote to his young daughter eventually grew into a personal philosophy about love, relationships, and the responsibility we have for our own emotions.In this conversation we talk about how many of us spend years looking for love outside ourselves, only to discover that the deepest love begins within. Maurice shares how that realization shaped his art, his speaking, and the book he’s preparing to publish. Along the way, we explore relationships, breakups, emotional responsibility, and the beautiful process of rediscovering who you are.If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to love yourself, this conversation is a gentle reminder that growth, healing, and love all begin inside you.Episode Highlights[00:57] The origin of Maurice’s self-love philosophy[03:20] Difficulty as inner reorientation[04:46] Collaboration over competition in business[07:10] Art as an expression of the mission[08:24] Sponsor break and shoutouts[10:12] From Los Angeles to a spiritual journey[11:57] Breakups as catalysts for rediscovering self[17:39] Self-love within relationships[20:12] From art to speaking and workshops[22:28] “Three Letters” book reveal[23:29] Love letters and the self-publishing journey[25:10] Healing the feminine[27:38] Self-love beyond thought[29:11] A turbulent season and growth[31:58] Taking ownership of your emotions[33:00] Reverse paranoia and choosing trust[36:07] Workshops and building community[38:46] Staying grounded in chaos[40:28] Relationship standards and self-worth[43:13] Building a culture of self-love through brandingSpecial Thanks to Our SponsorsBuffalo Rock Pepsihttps://www.buffalorock.comHoliday Beach Mechanicalhttps://holidaybeachmechanical.comHue Salon & Boutiquehttps://www.huesalonandboutique.comGypsy Willowwww.gypsywillowretail.comAmor Boutiquehttps://amorboutiquepc.com/Bay Taxhttps://bay.taxElysian Med Spa:https://elysianmedspa.comShore House Furniture:https://shorehousefurniture.comFerrucci Ristorante: https://ferruccipc.comAbout Maurice Hunter Maurice is the founder of evolfleS spelled backward but pronounced Selflove an inner lifestyle brand rooted in the idea that Self and Love are not separate, but one lived experience. Through art, fashion, media, and creative expression, Maurice reflects the wholeness already within each person and invites others to experience love from the inside out.What began as a letter to his daughter grew into a deeper personal philosophy that now shapes his work, his message, and his mission. Through evolfleS, Maurice is making inner awareness visible and embedding Selflove into culture in a way that is not explained so much as felt.His work centers on presence, connection, creative power, and the belief that the love we spend so much of our lives searching for is already within us.Learn more at:evolfles.comLet’s Stay Connected!Follow along @MyHappyAssLife on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube so you never miss an episode.Get Karen’s Love Notes atwww.myhappyasslife.comPresented by ADF MediaBe sweet, y’all!
