“I must learn to love the fool in me – the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs, and cries.

It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbour and who would rob me of my human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool."

By Theodore Rubin.

In this episode I talk about the soft skills of weight loss with a focus on self-compassion. Why it's scary to be kind to ourselves + our bodies, and how to break the habit of being the masterful tyrant.

Cracking the whip may get you to your goal, but it won't be sustainable. Self-compassion and presence will get you where you want to go, enjoy the journey, and build a sustainable life.

I reference the work of Kristin Neff, and you can find her here:
