About this episode

The "Screw-Up Survival Guide": How to Stop Reinforcing Your Mistakes is a podcast that explores the power of self-compassion and challenges the harmful habit of labeling ourselves based on our missteps.  We'll delve into the psychology behind why we tend to beat ourselves up, discuss practical strategies for reframing our mistakes as opportunities for growth, and ultimately discover how to cultivate a more forgiving and empowering relationship with ourselves. Join us as we navigate the messy, beautiful journey of being human and learn how to rise above our screw-ups with grace and resilience.
