Giving yourself Grace
w/ Glynis Skinner
The purpose of CelesteTheTherapist is to help shift the way you think. Many times, we get stuck in a negative cycle and struggle with getting out. Celeste will interview guests from different backgrounds who empower people in different capacities.
On the road to healing, we can find ourselves struggling with achieving our goal. What hinders us from healing and what can we do so that we arrive at our destination?
In this episode, Celeste The Therapist and Glynis Skinner, organizational change agent and writer, talk about understanding yourself and how being self-compassionate goes a long way in the path to healing.
People often struggle with advocating for themselves because they tend to put others first. When we know and understand ourselves, we can give ourselves the same kindness that we express towards other people. This episode will remind you of the things you often overlook on the road to healing. Tune in now and subscribe to know more.
