In this episode, we speak to self-compassion pioneer Dr. Steven Hickman and PhD candidate Yoni Schirris about the power of self-compassion. We discuss:

• the concept of self-compassion and how it helps to deal with an inner critical voice
• the three components of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity and self-kindness
• the science behind self-compassion: how it makes us more successful and navigate through (PhD) life with ease
• building a self-compassion routine: start small and be patient
• the importance of mindful moments: where are your feet?
• the self-compassion paradox: how to make self-compassion work by letting go of it working
• a common misconception: how self-compassion is different from self-pity
• self-compassion in academia: be the change you want to see
• self-compassion break: a pocket practice for every day
• the fierce side of self-compassion: why self-compassion is more than warmth and tenderness
