    85. Nourish your soul with self compassion

    Research shows that when we feel good about ourselves, we make better decisions. But let’s be real—how often do we reach for comfort in food, alcohol, or shopping to escape pain? Spoiler: it leaves us feeling numb, stuck, and yep, the hangover is real. Enter self-compassion—a life-changing practice that can transform how we relate to ourselves. Like a kind midwife guiding us through pain, self-compassion doesn’t 'fix' us. Instead, it reminds us to breathe, stay present, and reconnect. In our hardest moments, it gives us what we need most: comfort, connection, and the reminder that we’re never truly alone. In this podcast, I’ll dive into: What self-compassion is—and what it isn’tUnderstanding self-hatredBuilding shame resilience through self-compassionThe latest research on self-compassionCommon objections and misconceptionsA look at the theology behind itFollow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ella.hooper__/ https://www.instagram.com/nextbravethingpodcast/ Check out my website: www.ella-hooper.com and book in a 20 minute coaching discover call today!

    This episode was such a joy for me to create! Strahan Coleman's work has profoundly impacted my life, so when he agreed to come on my podcast, I was thrilled. In our conversation, I asked him to expand on some of his poetry that has deeply resonated with me. We discuss the power of silence and acceptance, the process of grief, and navigating pain, as well as his personal battle with chronic illness. We also delve into themes of uncertainty, God’s unceasing love, and the spiritual hunger that calls us to seek fulfillment in divine connection rather than worldly distractions. My hope is that, as you listen to Strahan’s insights, you’ll feel inspired to embrace your humanity and lean into the sacred mystery of faith. Finally, we explore his latest book, Thirsting, which beautifully unpacks God’s longing and desire for us, offering a fresh perspective on the divine-human relationship.
