This episode is about a powerful way out of burnout and exhaustion: mindful self-compassion (MSC). In their conversation, Chris Germer, co-founder of the MSC program, explains why kindness towards ourselves is more effective than self-criticism and how it can help us break the vicious cycle of stress and exhaustion. Chris and Usha shed light on the physiological mechanisms, practical exercises for everyday life, and how we can rediscover our inner motivation and values through self-compassion.
