Self Compassion: Can You Learn Self Love in Midlife?
A Listener Q & A
Self Compassion: Can You Learn Self Love in Midlife?
What is the key to self love, and why is this important in Menopause?
A lovely listener sent me a message asking me to create an episode that talks about self love.
How do we cultivate self love at our age, she asked?
She also added:
How do we move away from external validation, and move toward more inside support and internal validation?
And you may be asking … what does this have to do with HEALTH?
Cue the green smoothie amiright?
In this episode we chat about:
How approaching any health intervention, behaviour, or practice can FAIL if it comes from a place of self loathing.
How at 50 plus, we may have spent many years in the space of NOT liking ourselves, which amplifies as the body changes in menopause.
What Self Compassion is, and how it fits in to a Non Diet Approach, as well as building Self Trust and Self Love.
What this can look like in YOUR life, right now.
