In today’s episode we cover relationship topics that include:

  • How to calm your partner’s or your own fierce inner critic.
  • The tools to help your partner, or yourself, practice more self-compassion.
  • Why it’s important to simply ‘be with’ your partner sometimes and not try to fix every situation.
  • The 3 steps to practicing more self-compassion.
  • How practicing more self-compassion can help your relationship.
  • And much more!
