Why self-compassion is more important than self-care

The term self-care make me cringe. Especially when its used with a hasthag: #selfcare. 

In this episode I discuss the fundamental issues with self care and offer a perspective on self-compassion and why this is so much more important for us.

• Why is self-care sometimes unattainable
• The guilt surrounding self-care
• What is self-compassion
• My main priorities for self-care and why I believe it's vital. 
• And so much more
