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.

I mention:

www.selfcompassion.org and the work of Dr. Kristen Neff.
