    Podcast Summary

    • Practicing self-compassion during unexpected disruptionsDespite unintended disruptions, remember self-compassion to navigate life's challenges and keep moving forward

      Even when unforeseen circumstances disrupt our plans and cause us to feel like we've let people down, it's essential to practice self-compassion. As Kate Cocker shared in her story, unexpected events like a car breaking down or being ill can make us feel out of our comfort zone and filled with guilt. But, as her managing editor reminded her, none of these situations were intentional, and it's crucial to remember that everything will work out in the end. So, whether you've had a challenging week or are feeling overwhelmed, remember that you didn't mean for things to go wrong, and you'll get through it. Self-compassion is an essential tool to help us navigate life's ups and downs and keep moving forward.

    Authentically Developing Self-Worth

When we increase our self-worth it allows us to take our needs more seriously, get on our own side, and change our lives for the better.  On this episode of Being Well, Rick and Forrest explore how we can develop a more durable sense of self-worth. They talk about self-worth vs. self-esteem, what causes people to lack self-worth, Rick’s personal story of developing a true sense of worthiness, and why more self-worth probably won’t turn you into a narcissistic a**hole.
