In this episode, I get real about something we’ve all felt at one point: that temptation to sink into self-pity when things get hard (especially during the holiday season!). After a year filled with appealing and advocating for my son, I share a personal story about a recent hearing where things did not go as planned — and how I nearly let it pull me into the “poor me” mindset.

But here’s the twist: I didn’t stay there. Instead, I made a small shift toward self-compassion — and it made all the difference. In this episode, we explore:

• The difference between self-pity and self-compassion 🤔
• How our mindset shapes our experience ✨
• Why self-compassion acknowledges our struggles and gives us the grace to keep going 💜
• Navigating those “grief landmines” during the holidays 🎄

If you're ready to move away from self-pity and give yourself the gift of kindness this season, this one’s for you!
