Real World Self-Compassion - Carla Naumburg [166]

Hunter talks to Carla Naumburg about Real World Self-Compassion.

Maybe it’s the American narrative around “tough love,” or maybe it’s our authoritarian upbringing, but regardless the source, we are really good at being really hard on ourselves! In this episode, author and parent coach Carla Naumburg and I share the antidote: self-compassion. It’s a kind of love that can be learned, and will help you become a more patient, calmer parent.

Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. Our brains are good at berating ourselves when something goes wrong 2. Harsh inner criticism makes it MORE likely that we’ll repeat the unskillful behavior 3. How to share self-compassion with our kids
