In this uplifting and candid episode, Angie and Shelly tackle why it feels so uncomfortable for women to say kind things about themselves — and why that needs to change. From brushing off compliments to self-deprecating humor, they explore how society has conditioned us to dim our own light. Together, they challenge listeners to shift the narrative, start speaking self-kindness out loud, and celebrate their wins, big or small.
