S2 Ep 26 - The Science Behind Self Compassion and Growth

Hello Tater Tots!

In this week's episode I wanted to answer the questions: What even is Self Compassion? Doesn't it just mean go easy on yourself? What's better for growth? Self compassion or being hard on yourself? 


This is a topic that is very important to me, so I hope I give you lots to think about and reflect upon! 


I love talking about self-reflection, self-development, personal growth, and self-exploration so please don't hesitate to leave a comment with any questions you may have or anything else you'd like to hear me talk about! 


As always, thank you for spending your time hanging out with me! I hope you have a wonderful week :)
