Episode description
In today’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Simón Guendelman. We discuss what emotional regulation actually is, how self compassion can change your brain and parenting, and how scientists are studying this. This episode is a bit research heavy - so take out your Curious Neuron notebooks! Simón shares with us some common myths about mindfulness and explains how even if you don’t have time to meditate for 1 hour a day, mindfulness can help equip you with the tools to get through a really chaotic situation - like your toddler throwing a tantrum. Tune in to get a research back definition and playbook of how to integrate self-compassion into your daily life. Simón compares being a parent to being a medical doctor - join us to find out why!
“Only when we are aware and recognize which emotion we’re in is when we can respond compassionately.” - Simón Guendelman
