In this episode, I’m joined by professional counselor, Nancy Jane Smith, who wrote the book  The Happier Approach: Be Kind to Yourself, Feel Happier and Still Accomplish Your Goals.

Nancy and I talk about the happier approach, a simple way to quiet our Mongers, be kinder to ourselves, while also achieving our goals and intentions. We also talk about the mistake we make when we attempt self-compassion, and the more productive approach we can take instead.
