Self-compassion isn't just "being nice to yourself" - it's a trainable skill that rewires how you relate to pain, shame, and stress. In this episode, Joree breaks down Kristin Neff's three pillars - mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness - and expands them with two game-changers: values-based boundaries and letting go of what no longer serves you. You'll learn how to combat the fear of emotional "backdraft," the power of shifting how you name things to yourself, such as saying "I'm experiencing anxiety right now," vs "I am anxious" and how embodying self-compassionate postures (i.e. hand-on-heart, heart-opener, warrior stance, and even a self-hug) can actually help self-regulate in the moment. Joree also walks you through simple loving-kindness phrases you can personalize until you actually believe them. If your inner critic has been running the show, this episode gives you practical, compassionate tools to turn the volume down on that inner critic and how to turn up the volume on your worthiness.
