ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Do you ever beat yourself up when things go wrong? Maybe you’re late, your kids are melting down, your house is a mess, or you feel like you should be handling everything better.
For many women with ADHD, negative self-talk can become a constant background noise. But what if the answer isn’t trying to build higher self-esteem? What if it’s learning self-compassion?
In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between self-esteem and self-compassion, and why self-compassion can be a much healthier and more sustainable way to feel good about yourself.
You’ll learn Kristin Neff’s three-part self-compassion break:
- 🧠 Mindfulness: Notice when you’re struggling and name what you’re feeling.
- 🤝 Common humanity: Remember that difficult moments are part of being human, and you’re not the only one struggling.
- 💛 Self-kindness: Talk to yourself the way a good friend would talk to you instead of beating yourself up.
We’ll talk about why self-esteem can leave us constantly evaluating ourselves based on our accomplishments, appearance, relationships, work, or what other people think, and why self-compassion gives us something we can actually control: how we treat ourselves.
If you’re an ADHD mom who struggles with self-criticism, perfectionism, mom guilt, or feeling like you’re never doing enough, this episode will give you a completely different way to think about how you talk to yourself.
