This episode in a nutshell: Personal development & personal growth are essential for those in politics: thinking how to show up as the best version of ourselves, and putting that into practice. For those who constantly think about how to help others and how to change society, it helps to balance that with some self-reflection, some working on ourselves, being the change we want to see.
