In this episode, I discuss the importance of self-compassion, especially during challenging times. I share my personal experiences and practical strategies to reset and recenter oneself when life feels overwhelming. 

The conversation emphasizes the need to pause, protect small pockets of time, and practice self-kindness as essential tools for personal growth and resilience. I also mentioned I will be skipping next episode this Friday. The Minute Mastery is back next Monday.
