Counselor and Life coach Maggie Rhine and I discuss life's unexpected turns and what it means to be able to face past pain in order to find calm in the storm. I was amazed at the things we cover in this episode and I know for myself, I'll be going back to listen to this one many times in days to come. 

The studies on self compassion in the military shows that exercise of self compassion before battle can bring someone out with less ptsd. -Maggie Rhine LPCC

I’m confident You’ll be inspired, like I was, to grow your self compassion muscles and create a toolbox for yourself of how to turn into your emotional flat spins in order to get out of them.
