Becoming Your Own Best Friend

With Kiran Patel

In this course we look at the ways we seem to know how to be a good friend to others but are not always offering that friendship towards ourselves. Here we will explore how we can become our own best friend by offering kind words of encouragement and supportive action throughout our lives and our experiences.
