Ep 159: Self-Kindness in real life with Emma O'Sullivan

SelfKind with Erica Webb

Welcome to this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb. Today, I'm thrilled to be speaking with writer and member of the SelfKind Hub, Emma O'Sullivan.
We discuss our self-image, physical health, and relationships to ourselves and how societal structures have impacted that. Emma shares her story about how she rejected the ideas from these institutions, and how she's stepped into more self-kindness.
In this episode, you'll hear:
—How the stressors from the pandemic and modern life landed Emma in the SelfKind Hub.

—About her Sunday night lists, and how over time, the lists shifted from strict exercise and diet tasks to markers on how Emma wants to feel and what she wants to work on for herself.

—How Emma’s mid-life reckoning opened the door for “healthy woman’s anger”, what that means, and what to do with that anger.

—The difference between trusting and not trusting your body, and how that influences how Emma experiences life.

—About Emma’s brilliant Venn diagram that shows the interplay of self-image, health and physical capability, and the self-relationship.
Tune in to hear the full conversation, and please connect with Erica to share your thoughts.
