Ep. 134 - STOP Being So Hard on Yourself

Barb Knows Best

This week, Barb and Michelle are acknowledging a common problem many of us have—being too hard on ourselves. If you’re someone who feels like you’re always the problem and at fault, then this episode is for you. They’re breaking down our inner-critic and discussing new insights on how to start developing a trusting, loving relationship with ourselves.

In this episode, Barb and Michelle discuss:

• Giving yourself grace through the challenges and difficult moments of life
• Letting go of the burden of carrying all the problems and issues going on
• Releasing the need to fix everything, and allowing yourself to make mistakes and be human
• Learning and rewiring our mentality to treat yourself like you would treat a loved one

Quotes mentioned in this episode:

• “When you’re faithful to your practice, your practice will be faithful to you.” - James Finely
