Story Time: I Tried Fixing Myself Becaus...

Brown Girl Self-Care
About this episode

I used to believe that self-care (specifically through self-help and personal development) was a cure for how broken, unworthy and damaged I believed myself to be.  I was addicted to any and everything self-help but would never take the time to implement anything I learned.

If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you aren't broken.  Listen to todays episode and let me know if you can relate to my personal share this week.
