In today’s episode Kate and Betsy talk about self compassion, a powerful topic that most women struggle with. This may actually be the foundation of the Tend Her Wild podcast; two years ago the first Tend Her workshop was offered and the entire event was centered on self compassion.
“Self compassion is the secret sauce of life”
Aspects of self compassion covered today include:
-How women are conditioned away from self compassion and toward having compassion towards everyone else, “the human giver syndrome’
-Battling our desire to go inward and toward self compassion in the traditional season of giving
-Science tells us that self compassion makes us happier
-What self compassion is and isn’t
-The pitfalls of the self-help industry
-The three components of self compassion
-Why compassion for self can be so difficult
-Allowing yourself to heal and the importance of reaching out to others
