ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What would it look like to meet yourself with the same tenderness you so freely offer others?
In this episode of Beyonding Podcast, Kailei Carr and Myra Capri are joined by Jovian Zayne, executive coach, CEO and author of the forthcoming book Soft Landings for Hard Days, for a conversation about self-compassion, competing commitments, and learning to care for ourselves through the many seasons of life.
Inspired by her daughter and her own journey of becoming, she reflects on what it means to love ourselves well—even when our responsibilities feel endless. Together, they explore the conditioning that teaches us to question ourselves instead of questioning the weight we’re carrying, and how our identities can shape what we believe we deserve.
They discuss the importance of disrupting those patterns, making room for curiosity about who we are becoming, and finding joy amid the messiness of everyday life. Because even when our lives are full of meaningful commitments, we still deserve gentleness, rest, and the freedom to choose ourselves.
FYI, enjoy a bit of pre-show grounding ahead of this episode, as well as some of the "after conversation" which always include some great nuggets.
