Oliver Burkeman is the author of the NYT Bestseller Four Thousand Weeks (that's the one I've been known to push into the hands of anyone who will listen) and he's back at it with the just-released Meditations for Mortals…
Friction Points
The idea for this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast is something I've personally been practicing with for a while...noticing those little moments or places during the day where things aren't flowing smoothly.

Let's Talk About Self-Compassion
Something we haven't talked about for a while, but need to return to every so often, is self-compassion.

The foundation for growth, change, and transformation HAS TO BE self-compassion. Otherwise, it'll never stick….
