1 Shuai Wang’s Journey from China to Charleston 38:30
Why swopping perfectionism for self-compassion is the path to vitality
Manage episode 486867815 series 2791524
In this moving and inspiring episode, I chat to a wise, gentle mid-lifer called Karen Villet. Karen is a cancer survivor, mother and (since we recorded this conversation) now a functional medicine health coach.
You'll hear about:
- The importance of releasing self-criticism to make space for self-compassion and growth.
- The difference between surviving and thriving.
- Chronic disease as a teacher (and then inviting it to leave).
- Why health information (and even a life-threatening illness) isn’t always enough to help us stick to healthy habits
Please note: this conversation is in NO WAY intended as medical advice or expert advice on cancer treatment.
48-year-old Karen lives in Cape Town, South Africa, and started out as an occupational therapist. Following her own health journey, she's now beginning her next chapter as a functional medicine health coach - inspiring others to live their healthiest, most thriving selves. She's also a busy mum of one teen, one tween and two lively hounds.
