Me Time Episode 2 - Be More Buffalo

What does it mean to be more buffalo? In this episode Hazel and Jane offer a different perspective on the approach you can take when times are hard. They discuss how the buffalo approaches the challenge of a storm - and what we can learn from them when we face our own challenges. Our hosts recap on their summer activities and how they are feeling about settling back into their routines and accept their new identities as hosts of their own podcast! This sparks a discussion about how easily we can speak critically of ourselves and how we can cultivate more self-compassion. For those of us in high-demand problem-solving work roles, Hazel and Jane offer some insight into why self-compassion can be a challenge and crucially, some different routes into learning to speak to yourself with more kindness. They also share some examples of where self-compassion has helped them overcome challenges in their own lives and what we can all learn from embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it.
