The Challenge of Self-Acceptance

In this episode, the host discusses the difficulty of self-acceptance, especially for those who have grown up in dysfunctional environments or with restrictive beliefs. The inner critic can be overwhelming, hindering progress and causing self-sabotage. However, the host emphasizes the importance of being kinder to oneself and accepting both strengths and weaknesses as part of one's identity, as advocated by Stoicism. By acknowledging and being more accepting of ourselves, we can let go of the inner critic and make positive changes.
