• How loving-kindness ended Chris’ 20-year public speaking anxiety
• Why self-compassion works physiologically (vagus nerve, HRV, cortisol)
• The 3 components of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, self-kindness
• A guided “Self-Compassion Break” you can use in 5 minutes (or less)• Burnout, dopamine/drive, and the simple mantra: “You matter too.”
