The Soft Way

When Life Feels Heavy: A Practice in Self-Compassion


Listen Later

Sometimes life just feels like a lot.

In this episode, I reflect on a moment of feeling downtrodden, and share what helps me when the instinct is to push through.

✧ We explore

– Naming and normalising moments when everything feels like a lot

– A short guided practice to help you slow down in real time (6:17–9:38)

– The RAIN framework as a steady way to meet difficult emotions

– Building steadiness through self-compassion

✧ A question for you

What are you carrying right now?

What would it look like to respond to yourself with care?
