YOU Better! is a weekly conversation with personal development speaker and facilitator Kiesha Garrison. The podcast is all about self-discovery that considers what we are really up against in society. The "love yourself" memes make it sound so easy, but it will actually take a revolution inside yourself given all the systems in place demanding that you ignore and betray YOU every day. The spark for that revolution can be a conversation. By learning from the lives of other people, you grow your perspective and begin to understand your lived experiences in broader context.
Via thought-provoking interviews, YOU Better! aims to give you the insight and inspiration for compassionate and productive self-inquiry so you can unlock a deeper, more rooted love for yourself. A love so compassionate that it radiates from within you and pours into the broader human family.
