Come Back to Love with Robyn Vogel: Guest: Laura Shakun PsyD

Come Back to Love® Radio: Fierce Self-Compassion: The Bold Path to Healing and Empowerment Guest: Laura Shakun PsyD, Trained Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher and Psychologist In this powerful and heart-opening episode of Come Back to Love, Robyn Vogel welcomes Laura Shakun, a devoted teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), for an illuminating conversation on the transformative practice of Fierce Self-Compassion. Together, they explore how fierce self-compassion invites us not only to soothe and comfort ourselves—but also to protect, provide, and motivate with clarity and courage. Laura shares how this essential skill helps individuals step into their strength, set healthy boundaries, and advocate for their needs without losing connection to their tenderness. Drawing from her work with the Tender & Fierce Self-Compassion framework, Laura offers real-life examples and empowering language that listeners can begin using right away. Whether you’re healing from heartbreak, navigating complex family roles, or learning to reclaim your voice, this episode offers a path toward balance, wholeness, and inner power. You’ll learn:

• The difference between tender and fierce self-compassion
• Why fierce self-compassion is especially important for us
• Practical phrases and mindset shifts for daily empowerment
• How MSC can help you heal, grow, and come back to love—within yourself and your relationships
