I'm Dr. Becky and this is good inside.

If we're too accepting without enough action, we're going to be complacent.

We're going to be doormats or we're going to be, you know, not make the changes that

are needed.

On the other hand, if we're all about change and striving to get it right, be perfect

and do better without some acceptance of our, you know, the fact that we're flawed human

beings, that's not healthy either.

Self-compassion.

It's something we all need.

So who better than to help us show ourselves a little more self-compassion, then Dr. Kristen

Neff, a pioneer in the field for over 20 years?

By the end of this episode, you'll understand a bit more about what self-compassion really

is and the surprising ways it can be practiced.

Oh, and also, you'll have a bit more self-compassion after she walks us through an exercise.

More in a bit.

Quick note.

Paid partnerships keep the good inside podcast free for our audience.

I want you to know that I take partnerships seriously because I take my relationship

with you seriously.

So I only partner with brands that I trust and feel great about using in my own home.

Two things are true.
