As expert navel-gazers, Kelly and Brooke can sometimes seem a little serious, so when a listener wrote to Kelly and asked us about her personal fear of becoming too serious, it seemed like a good topic to discuss.  Unsurprisingly, Kelly and Brooke come at this from different angles, with Kelly talking about her desire to be respected and taken seriously, while Brooke realises she wants essentially the opposite - to be thought of as funny and carefree.  They do share the same advice on how to avoid the trap of over-earnestness and becoming THAT person at the dinner party though, and the endlessly useful suggestion that people are really thinking about us far less than we think they are anyway. Head over to http://www.letitbe.fm to learn more about Kelly and Brooke and subscribe to the show!

A weekly show with Kelly Exeter and Brooke McAlary, where we chat about what it means to do less and be more.

Let It Be

A listener is concerned that self-improvement is turning her into an overly serious person, so Kelly and Brooke talk about their experiences in taking/not taking themselves too seriously.
