Description

Self-compassion sounds simple—but for many highly sensitive women, it’s one of the hardest things to actually practice.


In this episode, we explore why being kind to yourself can feel so foreign, even when you want to. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to shame and childhood conditioning, we take a deeper look at the nervous system patterns that make self-judgment feel safer than self-kindness.


You’ll hear a personal story about vulnerability, rejection, and the inner critic—and use a powerful 3-step tool to begin shifting from self-blame to self-support.


If you’ve ever thought, “If I slow down, I’ll fall behind,” or “If people really knew me, they’d leave,” this episode is for you.

✨ Want to go deeper? Inside Rooted Resilience, we’re spending the entire month putting this into practice—rewiring self-talk, regulating the nervous system, and reclaiming self-compassion. It’s not too late to join us: www.yogiranger.com/membership
