Welcome to Humaning - a collection of conversations about the imperfect art of being human. Each episode is a real conversation about the human stuff we don’t always talk about... sneaky shame, stuckness, repeating patterns and the lessons we learn along the way. Hosted by Rick Watson, a holistic coach and Gestalt therapist-in-training, Humaning invites open, agenda-free conversations — shaped by presence, curiosity and whatever’s alive beneath the surface. Thanks for coming along for the ride and we hope you get to see some of your story in the story of others.

#34: From criticism to kindness: midlife lessons in self-compassion with Melanie Briony

What if your inner critic wasn’t the enemy… but the spark you needed to grow?

In this episode, Melanie Briony is back on the couch with me for round two. We talk about the messy dance between self-doubt and self-kindness, why mistakes aren’t really “wrong" and how breathwork and nervous system awareness can shift the way we show up in everyday life.

It’s equal parts raw, practical and even a bit funny (yes, donuts do make a cameo). If you’ve ever felt stuck in perfectionism, tired of people-pleasing or just sick of kicking yourself in the shins — this one’s for you.
