Whitney Kobrin on Self-Love & Self-Compassion

Written By Jenny Lisk

I had such a great discussion with Whitney Kobrin for this episode. Whitney is herself widowed, and she really wanted to focus our discussion on giving hope to people who feel stuck. She’s a love coach, but we didn’t talk about dating or relationships—we talked about self-love and self-compassion. We also talked about the advice you may have heard to not make any major changes in the first year. That’s come up on the show before, but we’ve not really explored it too much, and Whitney tells us about her experience with this.
