  • The Power of Self-Compassion
    ARE YOU SELF CRITICAL?
    Join me in a conversation where I discuss the concept self-compassion versus self criticism. I discuss a book I have been reading on this topic by Kristin Neff, Phd. which is all about where self criticism comes from, and how we can get on the path towards self compassion. when we operate out of love instead of fear, we can live happier and healthier lives.
