Why Being Kind to Yourself Changes Everything
When was the last time you spoke kindly to yourself? In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber delves into the science and soul of self-kindness — and why being harsh on yourself doesn’t make you stronger, it actually makes you stuck. Amber unpacks how negative self-talk floods your body with stress hormones, shuts down intuition, and keeps you from feeling safe in your own skin. She breaks down the neuroscience behind self-compassion, explains how to calm your brain’s threat system, and gives practical steps to start being gentler with yourself (especially when life feels messy). You’ll learn how to: ✅ Interrupt harsh self-talk before it spirals ✅ Rebuild trust in your intuition after setbacks ✅ Shift from judgment to observation ✅ Give yourself what you need, not what you think you’ve earned ✅ Practice daily acts of care that help your brain and body heal 🛍️ Shop Amber’s “Be A Good Human” merch: ambercabral.com/merch Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.
