If you're someone who is driven, self-aware, and constantly pushing to do better, but often feel like it's never enough... this episode is for you.

We’re unpacking why self-criticism can feel like a motivator but actually undermines your goals, and how to build a stronger relationship with yourself using science-backed self-compassion skills.

You’ll learn:

• Why that inner critical voice feels familiar (and why it doesn’t actually help)
• The difference between self-reflection and hostile self-attacking
• What real self-compassion is—hint: it’s not fluffy or soft
• How compassion affects your nervous system, motivation, and mental health
• Practical tools to treat yourself with more respect without lowering your standards

Whether you're stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, perfectionism, or just exhausted from trying to do everything 'right' - this episode will help you take the pressure off without giving up on your goals.
