Sometimes the harshest voice in our lives is the one in our own head.

In this episode, Declan explores the power of self-compassion—a skill that’s been proven to boost resilience, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional wellbeing. With insights from Dr. Kristin Neff and Brené Brown, you’ll learn:

• Why self-compassion is not the same as self-esteem

• How to stop being your own worst critic

• Tangible practices to become a little kinder to yourself every day

This one’s for anyone who holds themselves to impossibly high standards—and is ready to breathe a little easier.

🗓️ Reminder: We’re now releasing one new episode every Wednesday, alternating between How to Be Happy and How to Be Happy at Work.
