Fierce Self-compassion with Dr Kristin Neff

Pioneering self-compassion researcher, Kristin Neff returns to chat about her new book, Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.

Neff shares the difference between tender and fierce self-compassion and why we need both to manage mental health and well-being. We discuss women and the history of gender roles, when to use tender or fierce self-compassion, and how to gain freedom by using the practice.

We talk about:

• What made Neff write the book
• Tender vs Fierce self-compassion
• The self-compassion Break
• Gender and social topics explored
• Relationships and freedom
• Self-compassion takeaways
