Dr. Neff gets personal and shares the shame she felt after leaving her husband for another man and how she turned to self-compassion to take ownership of her actions. 

Tapping into her expertise, Dr. Neff discusses why self-compassion isn’t the easy way out, destructive vs. constructive anger, how anger can be used as a woman’s superpower, and finally, how our “fierceness” can be an energizing source to create positive change.
