like-hearted: Recent Episodes
Anna McNeely & Bracey George
Likehearted is hosted by Anna McNeely and Bracey George - two regular gal pals who are mildly obsessed with personal growth. In every episode, we sit down to discuss ways we are practicing growth, share struggles we’ve encountered, and freely give our opinions and advice to anyone who will listen. We encourage others to take a look at themselves and find the balance between self-acceptance and self-improvement. We love to pursue what it is that makes each individual thrive. Episodes will include conversations with friends about their personal development and the topics impacting their daily lives. We're not experts and won't pretend to be. In fact, we have every intention of learning as we go. Join us for casual chit chat between friends who love to grow together!
Just a reminder that we’re having our first Likehearts Club meeting on Sunday April 30th at 1pm PST/4pm EST. Subscribe via the button below to join us!
