From Setbacks to Success: Embracing Self-Compassion on Your Health Journey

If you're tired of constantly obsessing over what to eat and feeling frustrated by setbacks, this episode is for you.

Join me as I explore how cultivating self-compassion can help you manage stress, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and reduce the tendency to turn to food for comfort during difficult times.

Although it's often overlooked by the fitness industry, self-compassion enhances your ability to self-regulate, empowering you to control your responses and direct your behaviour toward your health and fitness goals. Rather than dwelling on perceived failures, self-compassion promotes productive self-reflection and growth, allowing you to make more progress.
