When change keeps coming, research suggests the way we talk to ourselves is making it harder. In this first episode of Season 7 - The Change Fatigue Remedy Series - Michelle explores with Dr Kristin Neff what it practically looks like to be a wiser, kinder friend to yourself when things get hard: why "I should be handling this better" is your threat system talking, not the truth, and what to do instead. With more than two decades of research behind her, Dr Neff explains why the three elements of self-compassion - mindfulness, self-kindness, and common humanity - shape not just how you cope, but how your team talks about mistakes, how psychological safety takes root, and what becomes possible when a whole workplace builds the practice together.
