We had the good fortune of connecting with Sunda Tan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sunda, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
Self Love Club started in 2017, with one member (me), during my journey of self-discovery and healing. After my dad passed in 2016, I started going to therapy to help with grieving and practicing self-care. “Self Love Club” was a mantra I would repeat to myself. Throughout my journey, I’ve learned how important it is to accept yourself. I began to love myself, flaws and all, and my life began to change. I believed this was an important message and I wanted to share my journey. Helping others heal themselves was my purpose.

Self Love Club was created to inspire and bring awareness to mental health through self-care and holistic practices. We are a mental health and self-care platform used to promote healthy coping skills to combat mental health.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Self Love Club (SLC) is a mental health organization based in Cleveland, Ohio that advocates mental health awareness and support in the community. I founded SLC in 2021 to share my journey of self-discovery and healing. SLC empowers people to talk about emotional & social issues and mental health concerns. Self Love Club provides a stigma-free space where people can talk about what they are dealing with and offer support to each other. Self Love Club aims to collectively overcome the stigma of mental illness. Our mission is to empower those with mental illness, their families and the community.

SLC creates content and products that encourage loving yourself. With the aim of fostering understanding and empathy, Self Love Club creates campaigns to encourage a diverse cultural conversation around mental health.

SLC is a mental health and self-care platform used to promote healthy coping skills to combat mental health. As we love ourselves through these ways, we invite others to join the journey of self-love and fulfillment. Collectively, we can raise the frequency and consciousness of the world. If you want to change the world, love yourself first.

Self Love Club is a revolution.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite places in the city are:

– Edgewater or Lakewood Park for the scenery
– Zhug is my favorite “fine dining” restaurant at the moment
– Mix at Cleveland Museum of Art is one of my favorite monthly events
– Cents for the best pizza in the city

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shoutout one of my best friends, Glen Infante. If it wasn’t for all of Glen’s advice, encouragement, and helpfulness Self Love Club wouldn’t be here today. Thank you for always pushing and supporting me.
