Do you practice self-compassion? Do you give yourself the same kindness and care that you’d give to a good friend? If not, why not? Our guest on this episode, Dr. Kristin Neff, is one of the world’s experts on self-compassion. She’s the author of several books on the topic including the latest, which is called, "FIERCE SELF-COMPASSION: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive".  Her website is self-compassion.org.     Thanks to our sponsor, Lomi, the world’s first Smart Waste Appliance.  If you’ve struggled with composting and feel it’s too much work, or feel bad that you’re not doing your part to help the environment, you have to check out Lomi, the countertop electric composter.  Just about anything you'd put into the kitchen disposer can be put into the Lomi on your countertop and turned into dirt in four hours.  Use that dirt in your garden!
