Fierce Self Compassion: How We Harness Kindness to Speak Up and Thrive. With Kristin Neff.
Welcome to another favorite encore edition of Untangle. Kristin Neff is an extremely well-regarded expert and pioneer in the field of self-compassion. Her most recent book is called Fierce Self Compassion: How Women can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim their Power and Thrive. She discusses how self-compassion allows us to be tender with ourselves in difficult situations, but also that it sometimes needs to be fierce — like the mama bear energy that comes from a place of love, service, and a desire to reduce harm. We must, she says, act courageously to protect ourselves from harm and injustice — and to motivate necessary change in ourselves and society. Her message…women can be fierce and tender. Best quote from the book: "Tender Self-Compassion harnesses the energy of nurturing to alleviate suffering while fierce Self-Compassion harnesses the energy of action to alleviate suffering." We need both.As always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential. We’re here, just like you…to learn, grow, share and connect.
