Bonus Episode: Self Compassion Deep Dive

Dropping the first of many bonus episodes, y'all! Today, I want to discuss self-compassion because I think it is definitely beneficial for this holiday season and your life overall.

How do you look at or frame self-compassion?

• Utilizing self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and care we’d give to a good friend or child

Getting sober had me stumbling and falling into figuring out who I was. I had no clue, I talked to myself poorly and it showed up in all my relationships (friends, family, romantic or otherwise). It was nuts. So, I wanted to talk about my journey (that is still going on). In this episode, I will talk about:

• Family history and how it shaped me and my drinking
• Things I would do when I was dishonoring myself
• Tiny steps that started me down the road of reclaiming me and what I'm feeling
• Admitting that at times, this process may be lonely but that's okay! Stay the course.
• Ways you can start incorporating the threads of self-compassion into your own life

Things that I talked about during this episode:

• The book that I'm talking about: Self Compassion - The Proven Power of Being Yourself by Kristen Neff. (If you have Kindle Unlimited, it's now free.99 on there!)
• Podcast Interview with Kristen Neff on Therapy for Black Girls
• Kristen Neff's website
