My Self Compassion Journey

Self-compassion started as an academic interest, then became something much more personal.In this episode, I share my compassion journey, the lessons I learned and and why it’s become an ongoing practice that continues to shape me as a coach and as a person.You’ll hear about:Why the absence of criticism isn’t the same as the presence of courage, care, and wisdom.What shifted me from head knowledge to lived experience (and why group experiences were so powerful).The ways compassion has shown up in action—from moving countries to resting, to being more assertive in relationships.The resistances I had to work through, like struggling to rest, money guilt, and minimising my own needs.Why compassion is relational and often harder to receive than it is to give.What I’m still working on now, and a reflection question to take into your own life.If you’ve ever wondered what compassion could look like beyond theory, this conversation will give you both perspective and direction.🎧 Listen now to hear the moments that shaped my journey and the practices that continue to support it.More Resources:Grab the free mini-course: Emotion Systems Audit – Download hereConnect with Shannon on Instagram: @coachshannonbeerLearn more about compassion coaching: get the details here
