In this episode I’m talking to University of Texas professor, author and researcher Dr. Kristin Neff about the power of self-compassion and how it can transform our lives. We discuss her fascinating (and groundbreaking) research into the psychological benefits of self-compassion; using self-compassion to overcome perfectionism; how self-compassion counteracts shame; using self-compassion to avoid burnout; how to overcome self-criticism; self-compassion in relationships; unstable vs stable sources of self-esteem; balancing fierce and tender self-compassion, and so much more!   www.gomacro.com with code BLONDEFILES for 30% off plus free shipping on all orders over $50 www.get-base.com/blondefiles for 20% off your first month of membership www.dipseastories.com/BLONDE for your extended 30 day trial www.athleticgreens.com/BLONDEFILES for your free year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs today   Produced by Dear Media
