257: Navigating Life Challenge's with Self-Compassion with Dr. Neff
Facing life challenges with self-compassion involves treating oneself with the same kindness and understanding as one would a good friend. Self-compassion can have a profound impact on mental health and overall well-being, filling a critical gap in mental health practices. Ultimately, self-compassion has life-changing potential, acting as a superpower, and dispelling misconceptions that it is self-indulgent or a sign of weakness.
Dr. Kristin Neff is a pioneer in self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on the construct over twenty years ago. She has been recognized as one of the
most influential researchers in psychology worldwide. Kristin has written several bestselling books on self-compassion, co-founded the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, and creator of the online Self-Compassion Community.

Customer Reviews
There is so much heart, soul, and hard work in this podcast
Thanks! One of my favorite spiritual podcasts!
Best way to start mornings
I have been listening to Lavendaire everyday for the past 2 months and it has helped me so much, I appreciate her and her words. Thank you for helping me on this journey of life 🫶🏽
Great for some
Honestly this is a great podcast, very helpful for most I’m sure. My criticism is that if you are truly struggling and are at a very low spot in your life… this show can come off a little too optimistic, a little too positive. There’s a vibe of “I was struggling too, then all I did is learn to love myself and everything got better!” I’m generalizing but it just feels very unrelatable at times. I realize this is more my problem than the podcasts, but still lol
