Summary

When we think of the word mother, some of the first words that would come to our minds would be caring, protective, and kind. In honor of Mother's Day, I want to introduce to you the concept of "Self-Mothering" and how you can start applying those qualities to yourself. By giving yourself room for self-compassion, you can create a greater capacity to eat and satisfy your physical hunger in a way that serves you best. Enjoy the show!
