Something we haven't talked about for a while, but need to return to every so often, is ​self-compassion​.

On this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​, I'm sharing a talk from a mindfulness class I taught a while back.

The foundation for growth, change, and transformation HAS TO BE self-compassion. Otherwise, it'll never stick.

And as we gear up for the summer (here in the northern hemisphere) and those longer, brighter, hotter days with all the different kinds of busy and running around, it's time for a reminder about HOW we need to go about things.

No matter what those things are, self-compassion needs to come along for the ride.

Also: I'm going to be teaching some mindfulness classes and I wanted to give you a small taste of what you can expect if you'd like to join us.

​Listen in to this week's episode for more on self-compassion​...

...and stay tuned for more info on mindfulness classes coming SOON.

Something *super* simple (but of course these things are never all that easy) for you this week on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​...3 little words that can change relationships AND anxiety. In a good way.

I.

Believe.

You.

When we are willing to say this, I believe you, it creates space for understanding and compassion.

When we offer this, I believe you, it has the potential to connect, instead of separating us from the people in our lives.

When we can pause and get out of the way, I believe you, it allows us to really hear what's happening...not through our own lens, but through someone else's.

This brings people closer together.

This regulates our nervous system.

This is love.

Join me for this week's episode and let's talk about it. ​I believe you​...

Happy Wednesday. 😊 I had this interesting epiphany a few weeks ago in a conversation with a friend of mine and thought, yup, we need to talk about that on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​.

I think most of us can find ourselves somewhere on the spectrum of *people pleasers*. It's pretty ingrained in us from a young age that making the people around us happy means: we get attention, we get approval, we get love.

And through a variety of reasons, we make this mean different things:

• If I live my life in ways people want and expect, they will like me
• If I do what I'm supposed to do, they will like me
• If I always say "yes," they will like me
• If I am selfless and available, they will like me
• If I prioritize their wants / needs, they will like me

We all run theme and variations of this stuff in our minds. It's like the calculus of belonging...

​I want to look at a really specific aspect of people pleasing today and that is: how it shows up on a macro level and how that differs from micro-level people pleasing​. Same thing, but different lenses.

And when we see BOTH, we can recognize this behavior for what it is...
