Summary
Misha Brown joins the podcast to talk about her book Be Your Own Bestie and the real work behind learning to like yourself. We discuss why being a good friend to others starts with being a good friend to yourself, the pressure to shrink ourselves, and how shame shapes the way we move through life. Misha shares her SaaS method for building confidence, the power of “dating yourself,” and why small daily acts of self-care can completely shift how you see yourself.
