Very Best Self Podcast

Episode 36 is all about self-compassion. We are joined by Dr. Kristin Neff, who is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first studies on self-compassion almost 20 years ago. She is the author of Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself and The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook. We discuss the power of self-compassion and how it can transform our lives. We discuss her fascinating (and groundbreaking) research into the psychological benefits of self-compassion, how to use self-compassion to overcome perfectionism, how to balance fierce and tender self-compassion, and so much more!

Dr. Neff has made significant scientific discoveries about self-compassion and her research has uncovered how these findings debunk many of the cultural myths surrounding compassion today. We learn the importance of treating ourselves with kindness and care. This is a powerful interview that will help you move through the world a little gentler with yourself.
