Self-Parenting Lights On with Mitra Manesh

    • Mental Health

Today’s episode is about finding a way to see yourself with compassion. Mitra and her guest, Phoenixx, talk about shifting from a self-blame mindset to a self-care mindset—instead of focusing on what’s wrong, ask yourself, “how can I better attend to myself?” Many of us feel like it’s easier to care for others rather than ourselves, so we forget how much command we have. But by being compassionate and caring to yourself, you are showing others how you want to be treated. In other words, we have to care for ourselves if we expect others to care for us, too.
