This week, Rose Felix Cratsley offers affirmations for self-compassion, embracing growth, and healing through hope. She says, “I think mindfulness is an essential and fundamental human right. We come into the world open and curious, but oftentimes self-judgment, criticism, fear, and anxiety come about.” Rose is founder and president of Ivy Child International, a non-profit that develops global mental health initiatives for children, families, and communities.  Show Notes: Find more from Rose Felix Cratsley here: And more from Mindful here: Let us know what you thought of this episode of 12 Minute Meditation by leaving a review or by emailing .
