Episode notes

What happens when you don’t treat yourself with kindness before trying to be kind to others?

You’re hurt. You stay small. You allow yourself to be hurt more often by others because you don’t value yourself. You lack a sense of worthiness.

You are not as kind as you’d like to be or maybe as you think you are towards other people around you, because when you cannot be kind to yourself, you don’t have the foundation to be kind to other people.

You burnout. You don’t have the energy resources to give to other people you may really, deeply want to because your cup is empty.

Kindness is an inside job that eventually overflows into how you show up for others. Listen as Erin and Heather give you the how-to on living a kinder, braver life starting with the small things (that really aren’t small).

ICYMI – Your Post-Episode Homework: Think about the percentage that you are going to give to yourself today. How are you going to show up for you in this moment? Is it 10%? Is it 50%? Are you going to give one hundred percent today? Make that decision. And then I want you to actually give that percentage to yourself at the end of the day.

At the end of the day, reflect: did I give myself what I promised myself? And if you did, find some way to celebrate. Maybe it's a bubble bath. Maybe it's one of those masks that you put on your face that make you look like Jason from those Halloween movies that are actually doing great things for your pores. I don't know. Do something that makes you feel good because you deserve it.
