Episode Synopsis
Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)In this episode, I get real about something we’ve all felt at one point: that temptation to sink into self-pity when things get hard (especially during the holiday season!). After a year filled with appealing and advocating for my son, I share a personal story about a recent hearing where things did not go as planned — and how I nearly let it pull me into the “poor me” mindset.But here’s the twist: I didn’t stay there. Instead, I made a small shift toward self-compassion — and it made all the difference. In this episode, we explore:The difference between self-pity and self-compassion 🤔How our mindset shapes our experience ✨Why self-compassion acknowledges our struggles and gives us the grace to keep going 💜Navigating those “grief landmines” during the holidays 🎄If you're ready to move away from self-pity and give yourself the gift of kindness this season, this one’s for you!Listen to the previous related episode on mindset shifts: Episode 103If you are looking for more: Sign up for The Pathway to Peace Coaching Community Waitlist Get The Special Needs Mom Survival Pack free resource Connect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/
