What does it mean to truly connect—with others and with yourself? Today, my daughter Britt Matthews and I are joining for an honest conversation about the challenges of connection, vulnerability, and self-discovery. We share our thoughts and experiences on people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the bravery it takes to craft your story.Britt shares her journey of working through codependency, recovering her creative spirit, and the transformative power of journaling and morning routines. We also explore insights from Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection and how embracing authenticity, courage, and compassion can help us live wholeheartedly.
