In this inspiring and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Allison Landry to explore the transformative power of self-compassion. Allison and certified counselor Megan Welwood are offering a free 8-week online Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) course starting February 3, 2025. In our discussion, we dive into: What self-compassion is—and what it isn't. Unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community and how self-compassion can help. Allison's own journey toward embracing self-compassion. Practical strategies you can start using today to be kinder to yourself. About the Free Course: Participants will learn empirically supported techniques from the Mindful Self Compassion program focusing on mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness. This program is a fantastic opportunity to develop tools that promote emotional resilience and greater self-acceptance.
