Courageously Kind

This week we chatted with Sterling Marchand, co-founder of Be The Good, a non-profit in the D.C. area that provides food for those who need it.


Sterling and his wife, Amber, founded the Project with their four children during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sterling shared with us the inspiring story of how the Be The Good Project came to be and encourages listeners to get involved with volunteer opportunities in their own communities.

We all could be kinder to our bodies.

But it can be hard to be kind to ourselves and our bodies when negativity toward our bodies can start at such a young age.

Last week we talked with the incredible Tyler Feder about the importance of positive body education, especially for kids! 

This week, Liz and Maddie break down some tips we've found helpful for improving self-body image!

After our conversation with Lizzie Velasquez, we were reflecting a lot about how we control the narrative of own our stories. Ultimately we all should take ownership of our own stories and we get to choose how to tell them. 

This week we chat about how to be mindful of your own story and your power to reclaim your story as your own!

For some reason during the summertime I find myself struggling with comparison. 

Comparing myself and my life to the lives of others. 

It can be hard to overcome, but a little gratitude and some boundaries are a good place to start :)
