Episode 153: Compassion is a Powerful Antidote to the Loneliness Epidemic

On today's episode, we explore the theme of compassion and how this powerful heart practice can support us building stronger relationships to self and each other. I get to interview my friend and fellow meditation teacher, Janine Johnston, about her expertise in teaching and practicing Minfulness Self-Compassion work. Janine shares with us the power of the "Self-Compassion Break" and why it is a simple and effective tool to help regulate and "soothe" our nervous systems. Together we explore the various ways we can practice compassion in our personal and professional worlds to help combat the loneliness epidemic in the United States of America. Take a listen to the whole podcast episode and explore how you might bring more compassion into your communities to help combat loneliness.
