This is a Glass Box Media Podcast.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Ziegler show, Planet Earth's source for inspiring your true performance.

I'm your true performance.

I'm your honored host, Kevin Miller.

Today we have episode 476 where Tom Ziegler and I talk with Dr. Kristen Neff.

She is here because my wife, Terry,

had to watch Kristen's Ted Talk for her doctoral studies

and asked me to watch it with her.

That talk now has over 800,000 views. So Kristen wrote a book titled

Self Compassion, the proven power of being kind to yourself. You can find her at self-compassion.org. What hooked me on the talk though was her commentary on

self-esteem and that's really why I brought her here to the Ziegler show.

Now Ziegziegler was the king of calling us to the necessity of a healthy self-image but when

Kristen devolves the research of how our culture has

primarily gone about achieving self-esteem at the sake of others and what it's done

to all of us I was just floored especially in realizing that I too was a victim and a part of this so two big focal points you'll get from this talk are in relation to one how we tend to equate self-esteem with comparing to or being better

than others. This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max. Christmas is great but there's loads of ways to make it better like

sneaking some chili into the gravy for some extra oombs or building a playlist that

will even get your none up on the table. Or just cracking open an ice-cold Pepsi Max.

Christmas. Better with Pepsi Max. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Chromebook are better together.

Take hands-free selfies which automatically sink to your Chromebook, ready to edit, and access

recent chrome tabs across both devices. The new Galaxy Z-Flip V and Chromebook, better together.
