Back to EpisodesEp 10: Are You Showing Yourself Compassion, or Making Excuses?
Description
We’re diving into some big topics that challenge the way we think and grow.
First up: can showing yourself compassion actually make you complacent? We talk about how to find the balance between being kind to yourself and still holding yourself accountable, so you can move forward without falling into a victim mentality. It’s about replacing self-criticism and shame with compassion, while staying honest and taking action to create real change.
Next, I break down The Perfect Wife on Disney Plus. I share my thoughts on the documentary, exploring how a desire for attention (even when we don’t admit it) can lead to extreme behavior, and whether childhood trauma played a part in the story. It’s an interesting one to unpack, especially from a mindset perspective.
We wrap up with a conversation on whether we’ve become too sensitive or “too woke” as a society. Does constantly over-analysing everything hold us back from being our best selves? Do we need to stop taking things so personally? We dig into this idea, tying it back to social media, the body-positive movement, parenting and healing from trauma.
This episode is an open, honest discussion about mindset, behavior, and how we show up in the world.
