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

I'm so grateful for Megan's energy today as we get into all of this...

- Self-betrayal recovery

- The truth about being "too much"

- When we first learnt to judge ourselves

- Abandoning ourselves in relationships

And more!
