Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and our final episode for May (aka Mental Health Awareness Month). Sure it's June but Goblins are gonna be Goblins. We are returning to a topic that Alex introduced way back in Episode 84 [https://zencastr.com/z/_NO1Yun4] on  Self-Compassion [https://www-psychologytoday-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/nurturing-self-compassion/201703/how-cultivate-more-self-compassion?amp=&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D&_js_v=0.1#aoh=15963784268038&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.psychologytoday.com%2Fus%2Fblog%2Fnurturing-self-compassion%2F201703%2Fhow-cultivate-more-self-compassion] and Self-Care especially in the era of a Pandemic. Today all three hosts are here to talk about the struggles we have with being compassionate towards ourselves, even when we are compassionate to those around us. We look at what self-compassion is (and also what it is not). We hope you all enjoy!
