Breaking the Cycle: Learning, Failing, and Coming Home to Yourself with Compassion

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re digging deep into a cycle so many of us know too well: learning… failing… and then beating ourselves up for it.

We know the truth—that growth requires mistakes, that learning means trying, falling, and trying again. Yet somehow, we still sit at the table expecting perfection from ourselves. Why? Because that pressure for perfection was placed on us long ago—and we’ve been carrying it ever since.

In this episode, I share my own recent experience getting caught in this very cycle, and how I found my way back to myself with compassion instead of shame. We’ll talk about:

• Why we keep falling into patterns of self-judgment

• How these cycles actually affect us and keep us stuck

• Practical ways to break free and create the safety we never had

• How to replace self-hate with grace, and sit with ourselves in the “broken” without trying to fix it all

Because the healing we’re searching for doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from learning to love ourselves right in the messy middle. 💛
