self compassion

Pause, Reset, and Recharge | Frances Angeline Rowe | HGP#46

“The truth is often much kinder than the story I say to myself.”

-Byron Katie

“Now what?!” We all have had at least one “now what…” moment in life. A loss of identity, a breakup, loss of a loved one, ending of a career or competitive sport, finishing school, etc. Frances Angeline Rowe joins the podcast to discuss her “now what…” moment and her new book, Pause, Reset, and Rechargewhich reflects her journey in recovery and self work. When I asked Frances what she would like for you to take away from this episode, she offered these words: healing shame and guilt, building self compassion, and creating sacred self care time. 

Perhaps you are experiencing a “now what” moment right now. No matter where you are in your journey there are so many great topics in this episode that I think you will love. We have conversations about the importance of following your dreams, self love, letting go of things that no longer serve you, and embracing the spiritual gifts we receive. As a new year approaches you may be thinking about setting intentions and aligning more with your true self. If that’s the case my hope is that you will walk away from this podcast recharged and ready to let go, accept who you are, and follow your heart. You have heard me talk about the importance of self care and there’s no better time to start taking care of yourself than right now.
