Why is it that so often when we see someone else struggling, our first thought is one of compassion and empathy, but when it comes to ourselves, that compassion quickly washes away? Luckily, Dr. Kristin Neff is here to help unpack the intricacies of self-compassion. She’s an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, and received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, studying moral development. She changed how we talk about self-care with her bestselling book Self-Compassion, and now, ten years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a new take on self-compassion: Fierce Self-Compassion. Dr. Kristin Neff has made it her life’s work to show women how they can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and end the silence around sexual harassment and abuse. If there was ever a time to reclaim balance within ourselves so that we can help balance the world, it’s now.
