What does it actually mean to be kind to yourself… especially when things aren’t going well?
In this episode, Victoria explores the concept of Self Compassion — and why so many of us struggle to extend it inward, even though we offer it so freely to others. With honesty, reflection, and a few surprising insights, listen as Victoria unpacks how we respond to stress, failure, and the pressure we put on ourselves.
It’s Aries season, so you know what this means… DISC as Zodiac Signs (a little fun…)
High D – direct, driven and achievement oriented so the corresponding zodiac signs are: Aries, Gemini and Capricorn
High I – friendly, emotional and persuasive and the signs are: Cancer, Libra, and Pisces
High S – tenacious, kind and supportive so we have: Taurus, Leo and Sagittarius
High C – analytical, perfectionistic and detail oriented which matches up to: Virgo, Scorpio and Aquarius
Which one feels most like you?
The conversation shifts into something deeper:
How do you treat yourself when things go wrong?
You’ll hear:
If you tend to overthink, push yourself too hard, or feel like you “should be doing better,” this episode will help you shift the way you relate to yourself — without lowering your standards.
Because self-compassion isn’t about letting yourself off the hook.
It’s about giving yourself what you need to keep going.
