Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens and I'm Jan Black. On this episode, we're going to

explore some of the questions you may want to ask yourself to gain self-compassion,

Dr. Yeager is a marriage and family therapist who is the team therapist and life coach for the

Detroit Pistons. His clients have also included the Oprah Winfrey Network and the Smithsonian Institute.

Dr. Gager is the author of a wonderful new book called How Am I Doing, 40 Conversations to
