We’ve all heard the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated.But what about the reverse?

In this episode, I explore the Reverse Golden Rule — the simple but powerful idea of treating yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and compassion that you offer to others.

It’s about noticing how harshly we can speak to ourselves… and realizing that we’d never say those same things to a friend.

You’ll hear why self-compassion isn’t self-indulgence — it’s emotional honesty. And how practicing it can change the way you relate to failure, your inner critic, and even your spiritual growth.

If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, self-judgment, or feeling like you’re never enough — this episode is for you.

✨ Mentioned:Thich Nhat Hanh quote: “Your compassion is incomplete if it does not include yourself.”The Reverse Golden Rule — a principle of self-compassion
