Episode 21
Jerome & Laura get deep today on probably the most essential of wisdoms you can pass on to your kid: How to love yourself. They discuss this simple (yet profound) advice that comes from Kamal Ravikant in his book "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It." Jerome, the self-compassion guru of our duo, talks about how he made loving himself a top priority when Donald Trump was elected, aided by his self-compassion guru, Dr. Kristin Neff. We think in this time of fear, division, and grief in our country, there's greater lesson we could teach our kids.
