Our next exciting introduction features co-host Belinda Haan! Sonya guides Belinda through a candid conversation about her journey toward self-understanding and acceptance.
Belinda talks about the importance of embodying compassion for self even more than others.
She opens up about the parts of herself she has judged and denied in order to meet external expectations and the long, sometimes painful process of reclaiming those parts. Belinda’s experience of reclaiming herself will resonate with you. You learn more about the methods she’s exploring in her own reclaiming process, and you’ll understand why we’re so excited to have her join us as a regular host for this podcast!

- 12:49 The formative experience of feeling deep emotion.
- 16:53 The benefit of accepting your self-critical parts, instead of trying to erase them.

- 30:13 Embodying compassion, and how it can help you stop wasting time judging yourself.
