When you don’t love your insides

from Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living with Sarah Berke Hosted by Sarah Berke

This month’s essay has no content that is inadvisable to listen to in front of little ears, if that is a consideration for you, but “the s**t word” is used a few times. It's one thing to recognize the parts of ourselves we'd like to change; it's another to figure out how to live with them while we're working on it. This is about self-reflection, relationships, and the sometimes uncomfortable business of becoming a person we actually like. Click here if you’d prefer to read this content.
