On this episode I will tell you how to recognize your critical part and how you can use self compassion to make it smaller.
You might be surprised to find out that your critical part isn't always easy to recognize. But have no fear, I will help you to get better at noticing it and combatting it.
In the segment, Connection Over Correction, I'll tell you how I had some fun while connecting with my 18 year old son recently. And I'll tell you how you can do the same with your tweens and teens.
Finally, in the segment, What's Bringing Me More Zen, I have an app to tel you about. You can get a totally free version or pay $2.99 for a version you can customize. I'll tell you how I am using it and how you can use it to bring you more zen.
