December 04, 2024 How to Logic Your Way Out Of Self Hatred
Can you name ONE person that truly deserves the kind of self hatred that you impose upon yourself?

In this episode, we discuss how to work through self hatred by proving -- with indisputable logic -- that it doesn't actually make any sense at all.

Today's questions:
-Can I name one person who deserves to feel the way I do about myself?
-What is truly similar between me and that person?
-What is different between us?
-Why do I still feel compassion for that person anyway?
-How can I feel compassion for me?
-Who is this self hatred truly serving?

November 20, 2024 Are You Holding Yourself to These Standards?
I'm about to starve my cat. The vet said she's too fat, so we have to put her on a special diet and bring her out to exercise and whatnot. But that sounds complicated and expensive so I think I'm just going to stop feeding her.

If you're a normal person, that paragraph upset you. And yet, you've looked in the mirror and said the same thing to yourself. Why wouldn't you starve a cat, but you'd starve yourself?

This week, I talk about standards you're holding yourself to that you're not holding anyone else to, and why it's slowing down your progress.
