SUMMARY

Michelle Kinder unpacks what self-compassion really looks like in everyday life. She talks about both the tender, nurturing side we usually think of and the fierce, protective side that helps us set boundaries and stay grounded.

Using the idea of the “two arrows,” Michelle explains how self-compassion changes the way we handle challenges: the first arrow is the pain we can’t avoid, the second is the unnecessary suffering we create for ourselves.

With practical tools and real-life examples, she shows how being kinder to ourselves can ease anxiety, strengthen resilience, and even boost motivation, creating ripples that benefit both us and the people around us. She also points to go-to, real resources from some of the most credible voices in the field that you can start using today, and you’ll discover them all in the episode.
