Valentine’s Day was once known for roses, chocolate, and romantic dates. It has become a day that many choose to spend focusing on self-love. In recent years, more people have chosen to honor the day by prioritizing wellness and self-compassion. This is largely because people are realizing the importance of nurturing the most vital relationship one can have — the one that someone has with themselves.
One of the leading voices in this self-love movement is Sam Cutler, a wellness expert and founder of MINDFULL. A social media trailblazer with more than 450,000 followers and nine million weekly impressions, Cutler has dedicated her career to guiding other towards loving themselves through a healthier lifestyle.
Through MINDFULL, a meal-planning and health coaching app, Sam has transformed the meaning of wellness for a global audience in 70 countries. Since its founding in 2023, MINDFULL has generated substantial revenue and cultivated a community of individuals who embrace food freedom and sustainable health habits while moving from a restrictive dieting mindset to one of abundance.
Cutler’s professional journey is rooted in overcoming significant health challenges in her early twenties. Struggling with chronic inflammation, severe adult acne, and fatigue, she explored holistic methods to address these issues. By transitioning to a diet rich in whole, nourishing foods, she alleviated many of her symptoms and gained insights into the connections between nutrition and overall health. But it wasn’t until she understood the powerful synergy between whole foods, lifestyle habits, and a mindset shift toward self-love—rather than guilt and punishment—that everything truly began to change.
These transformative experiences ultimately inspired her to pursue several certifications in health and nutrition, most recently at Harvard Medical School in lifestyle medicine, equipping her with the expertise to help others achieve sustainable wellness.
“My goal is to help women understand how food makes them feel without guilt or shame,” Cutler explains. “I don’t just want people to trust me; I want them to trust themselves in making informed nutrition choices,” says Cutler. “Everyone at MINDFULL truly wants to change people’s lives for the better.”
Valentine’s Day offers a unique opportunity to explore and adopt some of the practices Cutler champions. This year, as part of a 28-Day Self-Love Campaign, anybody may sign up for a free version that sends out daily emails highlighting one vital ingredient, its benefits to the body, and why it's an act of self-love. Additionally, participants will receive a connection to workouts, meditations, self-love affirmations, and recipes that are only accessible to members of the app.
A self-love routine might include preparing a nourishing meal, setting aside time for mindfulness, or establishing small, achievable goals to improve physical and mental health. These practices serve as reminders that wellness is not about perfection but about consistent effort and self-compassion. For those who often prioritize others, taking time for themselves can create a renewed sense of balance and fulfillment.
The popularity of wellness-focused self-love has also led to a redefinition of what it means to care for oneself. The emphasis is moving away from purely aesthetic goals or material indulgences and toward practices that promote genuine well-being. As Valentine’s Day approaches, those seeking to embrace self-love can look to wellness as a guiding principle.
Simple actions, such as dedicating time to meal preparation, practicing gratitude, or engaging in light physical activity, can make a meaningful difference. Wellness routines do not have to be elaborate; they simply require intentionality and consistency.
For those interested in exploring Cutler’s approach further, her platforms offer a wealth of information and inspiration. As part of this mission, her Self-Love in Every Bite: A 28-Day Whole Food Challenge offers a guided approach to embracing wellness through daily nutrition insights and self-care practices. Her insights and tools are accessible through social media, where she connects with her audience, and through the MINDFULL app, which continues to expand its reach and impact. This Valentine’s Day, taking time for self-love and wellness can serve as a reminder that the most important relationship is the one that someone nurtures with themself.
