In this new series, co-host Haley Stewart and I deep-dive about self-care—but not just self-care. We're talking self-care for the greater good; the simple-but-profound idea that when we take care of ourselves, we're better members of society. We're better neighbors, friends, parents, spouses... we're just better people for the world around us. It's more than just monthly manicures: it's about being the healthiest version of ourselves.

Here in Part 1, we're unpacking friendships, and what it means to take care of ourselves in order to be a good friend. I loved this chat.
