Ep 101. Self Compassion vs. Self Pity

Jody Moore
About this episode

After working with hundreds of women on improving themselves and their lives I find that there is a lot of confusion about self compassion and self pity. Self pity keeps you stuck and is extremely disempowering and generally leaves us overwhelmed and hopeless. Self compassion on the other hand gets us moving in the right direction, brings us out of hiding and helps us redirect in a useful way.

The post Ep 101. Self Compassion vs. Self Pity appeared first on Jody Moore.
