It's week 8 of the Happiness Experiment and Stephanie is testing self-compassion and asking a simple question:

What happens when we respond to difficult moments with kindness instead of criticism?

Using an exercise inspired by Dr. Kristin Neff's Self-Compassion Break, she explores whether treating ourselves with the same understanding we'd offer a friend can help us feel calmer, recover more quickly, and create more room for happiness.

Expect practical insights, honest reflections, and a gentle reminder that being hard on yourself isn't the only option.
