    When you’re feeling low, here’s how to find strength without losing yourself.
     
    #34 Compassion Is Not Pie: Through Self-Doubt and Beyond
    Katie Q
     
    Summary

    Speak to yourself like you’d speak to a friend.

    It’s easy to look around at the world’s struggles and feel guilty for your own. That’s what I was doing, and I was going in a downward spiral until I was pausing and reminding myself of the advice I give to others.

    In this raw and vulnerable episode, I share a recent experience of self-doubt and shame and the lessons I learned about acknowledging our own humanity. Compassion isn’t a finite resource; it’s a practice we must extend to ourselves first. If you’ve ever felt like you’re barely holding it together while hiding it from everyone, this episode is for you.

    Katie Q
     

    This episode explores the role of open, diverse, and deep connections in gaining perspective, sustaining resilience, breaking silos, and unlocking joy during challenging times. Hear how a simple phone call helped me shift from spiralling to succeeding and why generosity—not self-interest—should drive your network-building efforts.
