Self-compassion is a powerful foundation for mental wellbeing. It changes your thoughts, your emotions, the way you see yourself, and your experience of your life.

If you struggle with the inner critic, or if you are going through difficult times (like we all do), then this episode will help you bring a big dose of loving support to yourself.

In this episode I cover all this and more, using Dr Kristen Neff’s ground-breaking scientific research in this area.

You’ll learn..

✨ Dr Neff’s three-part self-compassion model

✨ Benefits of self-compassion

✨ Four myths about self-compassion

✨ And two actionable ways you can start practising self-compassion right now.

And some personal insights too!
