In this episode, we have the pleasure of being joined by Shannon Beer. Shannon is a Body Image and Self Compassion Coach. Historically, as all 3 of us see in our work, as women can are often more likely to fall into cycles of self criticism and body control, starting as early as childhood in messaging that often reduces female bodies to how they look, and staying small.
In this episode we talk about:
- Challenges in Practicing Self Compassion
- The Role of Social Context in Self Compassion
- Learning Self Compassion: Is it Possible?
- Curiosity and Self Reflection in Compassion
- Compassion vs Kindness
- Distress Tolerance
- Gender Differences in Self Compassion
- Compassion in a Divided World
- Balancing Self Care and Compassion for Others
- Practical Steps to Cultivate Self Compassion
- Building Self Awareness and Curiosity
We hope you learn something new in this episode! Let us know what you'll be doing to 'Woman Up' this week, and if you know a friend who would enjoy the pod, share it on!
