put yourself out there: what’s the worst...

cara and leo
About this episode

in this episode, we're sharing some recent 'embarrassing' (yet empowering) stories! leo talks the time she accidentally booked herself into an advanced ballet class, even though she’s a beginner—and how she powered through the entire class anyway. It’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the awkwardness, and laughing at yourself in the process. .

then cara opens up about how she struggled to complete a 5k, took a moment to cry, but reminded herself that it’s okay to have both high and low running days.

It's a cozy chat about embracing the uncomfortable, allowing ourselves to feel the lows, and pushing through with grace.
