Grace as a Skill: Be Kind Without Losing Yourself

This episode teaches how to practice grace as a skill: compassion with clarity. Emily defines grace, contrasts it with permissiveness, and walks through the SAFE framework for self-grace (Stop the spiral, Acknowledge reality, Find the lesson, Encourage the next step). She also explains the PAUSE framework for offering grace to others without sacrificing boundaries, leads a guided self-grace reset, and closes with a short reflection to help you carry this practice into your week.
