Self-Compassion, Leading from Within | Dr Mel Baker and Jaci Rogash

This is an empowering, transformational exchange between Mel and Jaci, a trauma transformational coach and breathwork facilitator who previously served in the police force. Jaci shares her journey of separating from the identity of being "the cop who helps others" after leaving the force. She reflects on how victim support often felt like a tick-box exercise, and how that experience shaped her commitment to creating spaces where people can feel truly supported and vulnerable.

We explore:

• The challenge of letting go of an identity tied to service and authority.

• The power of stopping, even for a few minutes, to listen to what you need.

• Leading from within and the importance of genuine connection.

• Why self-compassion, though often foreign, is a critical act that sustains us and those we care for.

• Breathwork as a ceremony, where Jaci witnesses extraordinary transformations in her clients.

This is a conversation about identity, healing, and the practices that helps us sustain ourselves with self-compassion.

Healing begins when we create space to pause, listen, and lead from within.
