3D Authenticity

Welcome back to 3D Authenticity! In today’s episode, Jennifer explores the quiet, but transformative power of self-compassion. If you find yourself being harder on yourself than you are on others, downplaying your struggles, or feeling like you don’t “deserve” tenderness unless you’ve totally fallen apart—this one’s for you.

This episode is especially for anyone who …

✨Thinks self-compassion is weak or indulgent

✨Holds themselves to impossible standards

✨Can’t seem to offer themselves the same care they’d offer a friend

In this episode, Jennifer covers:

✅ What self-compassion actually is and what it’s not

✅ Common misconceptions that keep people stuck in self-criticism

✅ The deeper reasons so many of us resist compassion, especially when we need it most

✅ Five grounded, practical tools to help you begin building a relationship with self-compassion today
