January is often associated with a new, improved self. So, today special guest Dr. Susannah Coaston joins me to chat about self-improvement and how we can use self-compassion to counteract self-criticism.

A certified wellness counselor and independently licensed professional counselor and supervisor, Dr. Coaston has 15+ years of experience working with a wide-range of clinical concerns. She currently serves as Associate Professor of Counseling & Human Services at Northern Kentucky University.

Learn about:

• Achieving self-improvement through self-compassion
• Our spiritual dimension of wellness – finding purpose, values, and meaning in life
• The paradox of being present and accepting what is in order to clearly see areas that need some work or practice
