Podcast recommendation: Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff 🎧

10 January 2026

If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of self-compassion, this is a powerful listen.
On the Being Well podcast, Forrest Hanson and Rick Hanson are joined by Dr Kristin Neff — a leading researcher and pioneer in self-compassion — to explore what self-compassion really is (and what it isn’t).
They unpack why being kind to yourself isn’t weakness or complacency, how self-compassion supports resilience and motivation, and practical ways to respond to difficulty without self-criticism.
Thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply human — this episode is a gentle reminder that caring for yourself is not optional, it’s essential.
Perfect listening for anyone wanting to start the year with more kindness and less pressure.
