In this new episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, Program Deliverer Britt Dorazio gently guides listeners through a grounding practice of self-compassion. So often, we extend understanding and grace to others while holding ourselves to impossible standards. This episode invites a different way of being—one rooted in kindness, presence, and care for our own inner experience. Through a thoughtfully paced, accessible practice, Britt helps listeners notice self-criticism without judgment and cultivate a more supportive inner voice. Whether you are navigating stress, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this session offers a calm, affirming space to slow down, reconnect, and remember that compassion begins within.
