In this episode, my guest is Dr. Kristin Neff, a pioneering researcher in self-compassion and an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin. We discuss how cultivating self-compassion can profoundly transform our relationship with food, our bodies, and our overall well-being. We also explore the impact of self-compassion on eating behaviors, especially regarding dieting and emotional eating. Dr. Neff shares tools and insights from her research on how self-compassion can enhance resilience, reduce self-criticism, and help us stay committed to our personal goals. Try out these strategies for anyone looking to improve their relationship with themselves, develop healthier habits, and build emotional resilience. Listen to the full episode here.
