In this season finale episode, we dive deep into the subject of self-compassion. Why is it so hard to extend compassion to ourselves, when we so easily give it to others?
For the first time on this podcast, both Sandra and Laura have recorded a surprise story to play for one another without knowing what the other one is bringing to the table. It opens up for a vulnerable and honest conversation about the difficulty of truly embracing oneself and the continuous work of accepting our own imperfections.
Also in this episodeâtransformational coach Agnes Branny clarifies the difference between 'self compassion' and 'self care'. She provides a unique insight into why the general perception of self esteem can eventually lead to depression, but also how our understanding of ourselves as 'cyclical beings' can help us shift perspectives and even change our lives.
And then for the first time ever, âThe Coming Home' song is aired. This piece of music magic is created and sung by Sandra Andreis herself, together with Caroline Ljungström and Henrik Jonzon. They made it as a reminder to us all to relax and connect with yourself when your head is spinning. Something to listen, play and dance to when you simply need to come home.
In this episode we touch upon:
-The three pillars of self compassion.
-The inner critic vs the inner friend.
-Why uncertainty in itself is not something to overcome.
-The importance of failing.
-How to set intentions instead of tasks.
