We all need a friend we can talk to about anything. But it’s not always easy to find people who are willing to open up about pretty much anything.
Allow me to be that friend. This is a podcast where no topic is off-limits, and we swap judgment for aiming to understand and relate to each other. Let’s just talk about life--the messy parts, and the pretty parts, and the in-between. We’ll talk self-love, mental health, relationships, body image, and so much more!
