From our very first step, our parents cheered us on celebrating our wins to help us feel proud and successful. As a parent, I was taught it was good to build my children’s self-esteem. I thought it was helping them grow and believe in themselves but what happens when they don’t succeed because failure is a part of life? What happens then? 

Teaching ourselves and our children to practice self-compassion creates longer-lasting results for resiliency, peace and joy. 

Learn the 5 differences between growing your self-esteem muscle versus your self-compassion muscle and why self-compassion comes out as the winner. 

I love this quote by Kristin Neff, Ph. D. “The motivation of self-compassion arises from love, while the motivation of self-criticism arises from fear. Love is more powerful than fear.”

A Call for Love is all about living from the deep source of love within you and self-compassion is the soil in which to grow love.

I’m Linda Orsini, host of A Call for Love podcast and founder of Soul Skool, a community where seekers evolve with clarity, compassion, and courage.

After decades as a teacher, I realized the deepest education is that one of the soul. My journey through anxiety and self-doubt led me to meditation, yoga, Reiki, sound healing, and emotional freedom practices. Now I guide others through retreats, trainings, and Soul Skool to return home to themselves and embody their best life.

A Call for Love is your space to pause, reflect, and awaken self-love. Because when we heal ourselves, we help heal the world.
