We are often our own worst critics.
We beat ourselves up for making mistakes, not doing enough, or simply being human. Yet, when a friend stumbles, we offer understanding. When a loved one struggles, we show kindness.
But what if you extended that same grace to yourself?
Research shows that self-compassion is strongly linked to lower stress, increased resilience, and greater overall well-being.
In fact, a study found that people who practice self-compassion experience less anxiety and depression than those who are self-critical.
One of my favorite reminders comes from author Kristin Neff:
“With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and care we’d give to a good friend.”
This week, I’m re-releasing a conversation on self-compassion with my coaching colleague, Lori Lander, now available on YouTube. We discuss why we’re so hard on ourselves, how to shift our inner dialogue and simple ways to treat yourself with the love you deserve.

What is one way you can treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others?
It may start with booking a call with me. I help overthinkers, people-pleasers, and perfectionists quiet their inner critic and build a more supportive relationship with themselves.
