Self(ish) by frank body

Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews on Self (Confidence): It took being Shameless to be Self(ish).

We know a thing or two about being risky (read: risque), our brand was built on it. And it was taking these risks with our tone of voice, marketing, and branding that led to success. We want to empower babes to step away from erring on the side of caution and feel confident taking a step toward their ambitions. For my last Self(ish) episode of the season, Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald from Shameless Media talk to us about building an empire by leaning into risks, bolstering their strengths, and saying no far more than saying yes. To be frank, it’s time to back yourself. It’s peachy enough.

Erin Deering on Self (Worth): Getting out of a love Triangl with yourself, martyrdom, and avoidance.

You can’t pour from an empty cup, but you can learn to ask for a refill. Erin Deering, ‘accidental’ Co-Founder of Triangl swimwear, has had a rocky relationship with her own self-worth — especially during the heights of business success. She also spoke with Jess and Bree about the stigma of getting help with parenting, and why admitting when you’re wrong can be the most freeing feeling. To be frank, self-worth is a muscle that needs to be stretched. And we’ve got plenty of hands.

Ash Rucker on Self (Expression): Go and scream into your pillow.

Why should we lean into activities that foster self-expression? And what happens if we don't find release? We're even more Self(ish) this week as Candace speaks to Ash Rucker  —  Founder of TherapART. A nonprofit based in the US that exists to celebrate and drive positive conversation about art therapy. As a trained yoga instructor, meditation and movement educator, Ash has found self-expression through free-form movement as a way to heal. Through TherapART, Ash leads one-of-a-kind workshops in New York, Miami, Mexico, and virtually. To be frank, we're all trying on new hats (or wigs) to see what feels right. And that's how babes get closer to themselves.
