In this episode of Heal Your Human, we discuss how self-compassion can sometimes become an excuse for avoiding necessary actions, leading to self-neglect. Using personal anecdotes and insights from self-compassion researcher Kristen Neff, we explore how to differentiate between self-care and avoidance, embrace discomfort for growth, and celebrate small wins. We emphasize the importance of connecting with one’s body and intuition to determine the balance between rest and pushing oneself. As always, these episodes are conversations meant to inspire more than inform, and we want you to be part of the conversation too.

In this episode of Heal Your Human, we discuss the concept of healing not as a destination but as an ongoing journey. We often find ourselves saying, "Once I get _______, then I will do __________." (You can fill in the blanks with just about anything.) The problem is, life is passing us, and we're hoping to reach a destination that won't ever be attainable.  It's time to let go of the idea that we need to fix ourselves and start accepting healing as a lifelong act of self-love. You are worth it, and you can do it.

In this episode of Heal Your Human, we dig into the complexities of adult friendships, questioning whether these relationships are growing together or apart. We discuss the challenges of maintaining friendships with limited time and increased responsibilities, reflect on the difference between enduring connections and those that fade, and explore signs of evolving versus fading friendships. We also discuss the guilt and grief that come with changing friendships and explore setting healthy boundaries, as well as recognizing the importance of respecting each other's growth paths. 

Relationships, both romantic and otherwise, come and change throughout our lives, and can be especially challenging to navigate into adulthood. We hope that this episode reminds you that you're not alone, and you deserve evolving meaningful friendships in your life.
