Part 7: Self‑Compassion for Old Coping Habits

In this episode of 8 Self‑Care Practices for Times of Injustice and Rising Fascism — we dive into self‑compassion , and how it can support you when old coping habits like emotional eating, numbing, late‑night eating, or eating for comfort show up. I unpack the nervous‑system science for how self‑criticism triggers stress responses and how (on the flipside) self‑compassion literally calms your body and nervous system , helping you think clearly and respond intentionally rather than reactively . I share real examples from my own journey and how noticing without judgment and asking "What do I actually need?" changes everything . This isn't self‑care fluff. It's much needed support and medicine. Press play. xo Brenda ps.
