In this episode, I explain how walking a self-compassionate career path is extremely difficult, but how doing the work can help you to feel supported in mind, body, and spirit. I also describe my list of "ingredients" for paving such a path: 1) naming honestly your wants/desires for your career, 2) connecting regularly to self, 3) noticing intent when you agree to do something new in your work, 4) setting boundaries, 5) welcoming rest, silence, and slowness in your life/career, 6) being witnessed in a community.
