In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, behavioral scientist and author Dr. Abbie Maroño shares insights on the transformative power of self-care and self-compassion. Drawing from her acclaimed The Journey Through Shame, Dr. Moraño explores how our inner dialogue shapes our self-concept and overall well-being.
She reminds us that the most unavoidable judgment comes from within. How we speak to ourselves, treat ourselves, and extend grace to ourselves impacts every aspect of our lives. Dr. Moraño explains how self-compassion—offering yourself the same kindness you would show a friend—can break the cycle of shame and foster a mindset of growth and empowerment.
Self-care, she emphasizes, is more than indulgent treats or fleeting moments of rest. It’s a disciplined practice of engaging in healthy habits, setting boundaries, and creating balance. Without it, burnout can derail even the most resilient individuals.
Dr. Maroño also reflects on her personal journey of navigating unhealthy work-life balances and finding renewed strength through compassion. Her story is a powerful reminder that taking care of ourselves is a form of strength, not weakness.
