Stop Treating Yourself Like Sh*t: Please Practice Self-Compassion with Jessica Patay

What if we changed things up a bit and started speaking to ourselves with loving kindness and compassion?? What if instead of self-judgment and self-criticism in our heads, we heard empathy and encouragement?

Jessica Patay believes the key to thriving and surviving amidst chronic hardship is the practice of self-compassion. From this all other compassionate practices will flow–as in acknowledging our own needs and emotions, acknowledging our inborn worthiness, acknowledging our need for connection and community. And then putting into practice self-care and soul care.

In this practical episode, host Jessica Patay gives us a crash course in self-compassion. She covers the concept that we have worth just by existing, the difference between Self-Care and Self-Comfort practices, and she shares lessons learned from Kristin Neff’s book, The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself and her Soul Care course with Spiritual Therapist Suzi Lula. Please enjoy this warm hug of an episode and feel empowered to stop treating yourself like sh*t!
