Is balance achievable in the modern world? How can we thrive in all areas of our life? (Is this even possible?!)
In this episode of the Starting Over podcast, Dr. Diana - a highly regarded clinical psychologist - and I discuss the concept of balance in life, how to achieve it, and the role of self-compassion in overcoming challenges.
She shares her own starting over - quitting her PhD for her own health, feeling like an imposter, healing from an eating disorder and using her personal challenges to help others.
Dr. Diana also delves into strategies for cultivating self-compassion, including compassionate touch, cognitive defusion, and embodying compassion.
Additionally, she addresses the phenomena of self-sabotage and the value of internal motivators over external ones. The episode emphasizes the transformative power of self-awareness, the significance of intrinsic motivators, and practical steps towards fostering self-compassion in oneself and our children.
