December 16, 2022


In today’s episode Kate and Betsy talk about self compassion, a powerful topic that most women struggle with.  This may actually be the foundation of the Tend Her Wild podcast; two years ago the first Tend Her workshop was offered and the entire event was centered on self compassion.
