This week, Jessalynn sits down with her best friend Susie for their monthly episode to dive into the importance of practicing self-compassion and why it can be challenging for many. To start, they first dive into defining what self-compassion really is as well as how it can often be confused with self-esteem. They discuss the common misconceptions of self-compassion and how many people resist practicing it. Jessalynn shares her experience with practicing self-compassion, emphasizing that it's about relating to your experiences with kindness, not self-judgment. The discussion distinguishes self-esteem from self-compassion, highlighting the latter as an antidote to self-criticism.
