What if the missing piece in your healing wasn’t discipline, it was compassion?

In this deeply human, science-backed episode of Beyond the Flare, Supportegy founder Sue reveals how self-criticism keeps the body in chronic stress; and how self-compassion, backed by neuroscience and physiology, can help you regulate your nervous system, calm inflammation, and reclaim a sense of safety inside your own skin.

You’ll learn:

  • The neuroscience of kindness, and how it rewires the brain for healing

  • Why the vagus nerve, oxytocin, and gentle touch can literally lower inflammation
