In this episode of Noble Mind, Kathryn joins Kate and Alex to discuss what it looks like to apply the principles of self-compassion in daily life, describing how the resistance to rest shows up and what we can do to overcome it. She explains how our bodies are easily forgotten when our minds are filled with chatter and shares the consequences she suffered from neglecting her own self-care. Listen in for Kathryn’s insight on the benefit of the self-compassion retreat experience and learn how immersing yourself in mindful self-compassion is not self-indulgent—but a true gift to the people you love and lead. Kathryn Lovewell is the cofounder of Kind Mind Academy and bestselling author of The Little Book of Self-Compassion, Every Teacher Matters: Inspiring Well-Being Through Mindfulness and The Voices in My Head. An award-winning emotional health and wellbeing specialist and Certified Mindful Self-Compassion Senior teacher, Kathryn is passionate about making MSC accessible to the everyday person.
