Be Kind To Yourself: What is Self-Compassion?

Self-compassion is such an important thing to practice, yet a lot of us tend to focus on self-deprecation. We are able to be kind and gentle with the people around us, but look at ourselves in the mirror and spew hatred. In this episode, we are talking about how to practice self-compassion and what it means to be kind to ourselves. I also talk about Dr. Kristin Neff's three elements of self-compassion. So, if you feel like your negative self-talk wins you over, it's time to practice some of these exercises that I'm linking below. Thank you for listening, stay safe!

Entering the Quarter-Life Crisis Era

What is a quarter life crisis? Is it the same as mid life crisis? In short: No. This episode's topic is very important and dear to me because part of our development in young adulthood (18 to 30 years old) includes having feelings of self-doubt and identity crisis. It can be very beneficial to understand what might come up during these ages and the reason behind it. Thank you for listening, stay safe!
