The hosts emphasise the importance of applying self-compassion when striving to achieve health and wellness goals, steering away from the all-or-nothing mindset and embracing imperfections.

The discussion unfolds with a thorough exploration of self-compassion, drawing from Kristin Neff's book. The hosts explain why self-compassion is such an important, yet overlooked component of achieving success. They also share practical ways to apply self-compassion, emphasising kindness, gentleness, and understanding towards oneself, especially during challenging times.

The episode explores the link between self-compassion, motivation, and preventing health issues. The hosts share personal experiences, reinforcing the idea that setbacks are part of the journey, and self-compassion is the key to staying positive and motivated.
