Welcome to the Kind Minds podcast. I'm Dr. Tara Cousineau, a clinical psychologist, meditation teacher, and author of "The Kindness Cure: How The Science of Compassion Can Heal Your Heart and Your World".
This podcast is where I share my expertise to help you grow a kind mind, cultivate an open heart, and befriend the inner critic. Consider this a weekly dose of kindfulness, or a compassion break to bring into your daily life.
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is set a clear personal boundary. Self-kindness requires courage, trust, and faith.
