Karamo: How to Actually Do Self-Love (January, 2021)

À propos de cet épisode

<p>With the approach of the new year (and perhaps New Year's resolutions) we've decided to replay a very popular episode, featuring one of the most prominent proselytizers for self-love, Karamo from <em>Queer Eye.</em></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Karamo was the first openly gay black man on reality TV when he appeared on MTV's <em>The Real World Philadelphia</em> back in 2004. When he left TV and found out he was a dad, he got custody of his son, adopted his son's half-brother and worked for a decade as a social worker before returning to the media world. He's now the culture expert on the blockbuster Netflix reboot of <em>Queer Eye</em>. Karamo also hosts his own podcast and is the author of a <a href="http://karamobook.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank">memoir</a>, as well as a <a href= "https://read.macmillan.com/mcpg/iamperfectlydesigned/" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">children's book</a>, which he co-wrote with his son. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>In today's conversation, we talk about why, for Karamo, learning to love himself started with learning to love his first name; how he overcame negative messages inside his abusive childhood home; why men struggle so much with the concept of self-love; and the areas in his own life where he struggles the most to practice what he preaches. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Click <a href="http://www.tenpercent.com/gift" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> to give a gift subscription of the Ten Percent Happier app. </p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Full Shownotes:</strong> <a href= "https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/karamo-repost" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank">https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/karamo-repost</a></p> <p><br /></p>
