Self-Compassion versus Self Improvement: How about both?
Monday Jan 31, 2022
Monday Jan 31, 2022
Do you ever feel like you have to either be tough on yourself OR self-forgiving and self-compassionate? Self-compassion doesn’t have to be in opposition of being goal driven. This episode shows how self-compassion, self-caring, and self-forgiveness can all be the path to success…part of your growth mindset!
February is a month of love and passion – let’s reframe that warriors, and talk about self-love and self-compassion.
It’s not just mindset, it’s skillset and toolset. This episode addresses how we as women who are held to unfair, unattainable, even ridiculous societal expectations can foster the skill of self-acceptance with intention, strategically, in ways that serve us, that are part of, rather than in opposition to, our self-improvement and growth goals.

Very nice meeting you today. I feel compelled to share that RIGHT before I noticed you, I was relaxing in the pedicure chair with eyes closed and saw all orange with very fine gold lines throughout (like the outline on a map. It started to converge toward the upper middle and formed an eye. It felt like I was looking into my own eye.
