We often assume that being hard on ourselves will motivate us to change, but harsh self-talk can have the opposite effect. Drawing on ideas from her book The Kindness Method, Shahroo Izadi explores how treating ourselves with greater kindness and compassion can help us navigate setbacks and create a more supportive approach to change.

The event explores:

  • Recognize what’s good in you: Learn to map out the qualities you appreciate about yourself rather than allowing self-criticism to dominate the picture.
  • Turn compassion inward: Practice offering yourself the same understanding and kindness you would naturally extend to someone you love.
  • Create a personal toolkit: Develop practical strategies you can draw on during the moments when maintaining a kinder relationship with yourself feels most difficult.
