Self-Compassion: why it's so hard and why we actually need it the most!

The way we speak to ourselves shapes everything: our relationships, nervous systems, creativity, confidence, and ability to actually enjoy life!So why is self-compassion often the hardest thing to give ourselves??!In this episode, I talk about why so many high achievers and people pleasers are deeply compassionate toward everyone except themselves, how perfectionism and inner criticism masquerade as growth, and why learning to meet ourselves with more kindness may be some of the deepest healing work there is!I share my own journey as an “internal helicopter mom” to my inner child, especially during postpartum, and why the reassurance, grace, and unconditional love we want our children to feel is often exactly what we need to practice giving ourselves.If feeling “not enough” has ever been a familiar inner dialogue, this episode is for you!!
