The Power of Self-Compassion: Transform Stress, Burnout & Your Inner World | Kristin Neff

We are often our own harshest critics, but what if self-compassion could be the key to unlocking resilience, growth, and inner peace? In this empowering episode, Dr. Kristin Neff, a pioneering researcher and author, reveals the transformative power of self-compassion and how it can help us overcome burnout, build authentic self-worth, and navigate life’s challenges with grace.

Through mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness, Dr Neff explains how self-compassion works not as an indulgence but as a strength that fosters motivation, emotional well-being, and stronger boundaries. With actionable strategies like the “self-compassion break” and simple grounding practices, you’ll learn how to reframe self-talk, embrace your imperfections, and rediscover the joy of being human.

Whether you’re a caregiver, entrepreneur, or simply seeking balance, this conversation will inspire you to stop being so hard on yourself and start living in a place of true inner strength.
