Go Help Yourself: A Comedy Self-Help Podcast to Make Life Suck Less
Misty Stinnett & Lisa Linke
Self-help feels like a bit of a dumpster fire, doesn't it? Whether you've binged every self-help book out there or are just getting started in your journey – Go Help Yourself is your source for calling bullsh*t on toxic positivity, turning your existential dread into actual growth, and getting it together without losing your soul (or sense of humor) in the process. Misty loves self-help and is earnestly trying to improve her life, while Lisa hates anyone telling her what to do. Together, we bring a much-needed critical eye (and healthy dose of humor) to the wildly-unregulated world of self-help, sharing what we learn along the way. Because we believe that, even though life is hard, personal development doesn’t have to be. Welcome to your podcast to make life suck less!
