Wellness Check Wednesday Podcast | Episode 65: "Self-Compassion vs Self-Criticism"

The way we speak to ourselves can either be a source of healing—or harm. In this episode, we explore the contrast between self-compassion and self-criticism, and how each one impacts our mental and emotional well-being.

We often show kindness to others more easily than we show it to ourselves. But what happens when we begin to turn that compassion inward? This conversation dives into the power of gentle self-talk, how to recognize your inner critic, and ways to shift toward a mindset of self-support and understanding.

Highlights from this episode:

  • Understanding the effects of self-criticism on mental health

  • The science and benefits behind self-compassion

  • Tools to reframe negative self-talk

  • How to cultivate a more nurturing relationship with yourself

You deserve the same care you give to others. Let’s talk about how to start giving it.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
