Finding Your Casual Magic From Shame to Self-Worth - Radical Truths Your Younger Self Will Thank You For (with Megan Jayne Crabbe)
Hii friends!! Welcome back to Season 2 ✨💌
Today we’re talking about Finding Your Casual Magic through being yourself and unapologetically taking up space! And we’re talking to someone I’ve admired from afar for such a long time.
Megan Jayne Crabbe is an author, body positivity advocate and overall ray of sunshine human.
She recently wrote an incredible memoir called ‘We Don’t Make Ourselves Smaller Here’ - a gorgeous exploration into areas of her life where she’s dimmed her light.
We Don’t Make Ourselves Smaller Here is OUT NOW: https://bio.to/wdmosh

- Self-betrayal recovery
- The truth about being "too much"
- When we first learnt to judge ourselves
- Abandoning ourselves in relationships
And more!
