Andrea and Krista are joined by love coach, TED speaker and now Author, Francesca Hogi! Inspired by their attendance at Reese Witherspoon's Shine Away event, their Half Betty conversation explores midlife transformations, love, and personal development and growth. Francesca (aka Franny - an approved nickname) introduces her ‘Self Love’ Formula, which includes self-compassion, self-worth, self-validation, self-care, and self-gratitude. She emphasizes the power of human connection, shared stories, and the importance of operating from a place of love rather than fear. This episode also touches on navigating friendships and romantic relationships in midlife, and Francesca's personal journey, which includes moving on from a long-term relationship, finding new love and moving to Paris.
