K-pop Band BTS: Aussie Army's perspective on loving yourself

We hear it a lot these days that ‘loving yourself’ is the first step to a happy and fulfilling life. Putting that into action and practise can be hard though. This is where inspiration and support can truly make a difference.

Enter BTS (with a super funky, sharp and colourful choreo & vocals)!

Through BTS, Barbara has learned to truly fill her own cup up first, experience life fully and be more than a mum, friend, employee, etc. and tap into what it means to get to know and love herself.

During this chat we dive into the story of how BTS found her and what massive impact these 7 humans from South Korea had so far in her life.

Tune in and explore more around how truly loving yourself can change your life in ways you might not expect!
