2025/03/22

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ In this episode, I share a piece of writing I rediscovered – something I’d captured in the quiet of a long-haul flight, sitting beside Anton as he slept. I had no memory of writing it, but when I read it back, it spoke to something that still feels deeply true: the idea of rest as a form of compassion. I explore how the energy we hold – especially in those liminal, half-asleep states – doesn’t just affect us, but also gently ripples out into the world around ...

Self-Compassion, Authenticity and Holding Our Own...

the Henny Flynn podcast ·

2025/03/15

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This season of the podcast has been threading together a quiet but powerful theme - the many ways we navigate fear. This week’s episode takes that theme deeper, exploring how self-compassion gives us the courage to stand in our own space, to hold our own hand, and to live with authenticity. A quote from Dr. Kristin Neff helped spark this reflection: "One of the most pervasive findings of the research literature is that self-compassion leads to aut...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ So, you might remember that I'd decided to publish the podcast every two weeks - but here we are, just a week after the last episode. Because sometimes, there are no rules. Sometimes, something asks to be shared. This is one of those episodes. We're talking about power and fear - two forces that shape so much of how we move through the world. What happens when we hand over our power? And are we, in fact, handing it to fear itself? These questions have been we...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡In this season finale, I want to reflect on something that's been on my mind a lot recently: the power of self-compassion and how we can embrace moments of "wintering" in our lives. For me, wintering isn’t just about the colder months, it’s about the times when we feel called to turn inward, to rest, to nurture ourselves, and to find a sense of renewal.This is partly why I’ve started a new practice of taking a winter break from mid-December to mid-January.
