I love everything about this. I try to prioritize self care but never gave a second thought to self compassion.

Lee, I’m so glad this resonated with you. I’ve found self‑compassion is the gentle root that makes self‑care flourish. It changes how we show up for ourselves every day. This is new for me. I used to "tough" things out.

Sheila, I’m so glad it reached you when you needed it. You’re not alone, and you deserve the same compassion you’d offer a friend. Thank you for reading and for letting me know it was important for you to hear today.
