How Do I Treat Myself Better? (Self-Compassion Pt. II‪)‬ Educated Messes: Mental Health, Relationships, Work, & Well-Being

In part two of our self compassion series, we learn from the queen of self compassion herself (Dr. Kristen Neff) how we might become more loving, caring, and nurturing towards ourselves as we navigate Big Things in life. 
We explore our personal experiences with self esteem, discuss how mindfulness and self compassion are both important parts of meeting difficult experiences with less resistance, and share some tools that can help us strengthen our individual self compassion practices.Also, Kelsey says “flagellating” and we have a good long laugh in the fact check about Kyla discovering her “”inner baby””.
