The Compassionate Creative Podcast

Today I am discussing how we can work towards releasing judgement of ourselves and others. I am currently offering a free yoga/stretch/meditation practice every Friday on IG Live, and I posed the question to my Instagram followers - what do you want to focus on?  Someone responded...'releasing judgement' and that was the inspiration behind this episode.  I share how I am currently working towards being much less judgemental of myself and how we can nourish more empathy and understanding by releasing judgement of others.

Today's episode was inspired by a video I saw of fitness professional Kaisa Keranen, talking about toxic self-love culture.  It got me thinking about self-love and self-compassion, which I have been really focusing a lot of my content on this month.  I wanted to share my thoughts on this topic and be honest about the challenges of the practice of self-love.  Stick around until the end, where I offer some affirmations to take with you through the day.

This week's topic was inspired by a conversation I heard on another podcast with Julia Cameron, author of 'The Artist's Way'.  Her new book 'The Listening Path: The Creative Art of Attention' is a program to help us become better listeners.  Hearing her speak got me thinking about the importance and power of actively listening to each other and ourselves, and how this can connect us on a deeper level, and cultivate more peace in the world.
