Episode notes

We’ve all heard some version of the “golden rule.” “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you!” But how many times are we MORE harsh with ourselves than we are with others? How rarely do we practice SELF COMPASSION? Each week my we break down and demystify an aspect of mindfulness and make it meaningful to you! This week, we’re covering SELF COMPASSION.
