97. HERself Expert: Kristin Neff on Self Compassion and Calming Your Mean Inner Critic

We all know we should speak to ourselves kindly. But when we make a mistake, say the wrong thing, our kids are acting up, it’s easy to place blame and judgement on ourselves. Kristin Neff is a pioneer in the self compassion space and has a wealth of knowledge on the “in the moment” things we can do to raise ourselves up and show kindness over anything else. We touch on mindfulness, where true motivation comes from, and the pitfalls of focusing just on self esteem. Thank you for sharin...
