One of the characteristics of being out of alignment, is when we lose touch with our humanity.

When we practice self compassion, we seed the reconnection to our humanness. As we accept the truth about where we are, we can begin to make healthier choices about how our needs can be met. In today’s podcast, I’m sharing 3 ways to practice revolutionary self compassion.
Till next time
