Welcome to Part 1 of Awakening to Kindness! If you've ever found yourself asking "What's wrong with me?" when facing challenges in your life, this first part of the A2K series is going to be a game-changer. Today we're exploring why that seemingly innocent question is actually derailing your ability to solve problems and keeping you stuck in cycles of shame and self-blame.
In Part 1 of this 7-part series, you'll discover the profound difference between asking "What's wrong with me?" versus "What's wrong?" and how this simple shift opens up entirely new possibilities for healing and growth. We'll dive deep into why shame-based problem solving never works and how curiosity becomes the key that unlocks real solutions.
You'll learn why you're not the problem you think you are, and how our culture has conditioned us to believe that feeling bad about ourselves is somehow "responsible." Spoiler alert: it's not. In fact, it's the very thing keeping you from the transformation you're seeking.
Awakening to Kindness is a transformational series that guides you from feeling stuck and spinning your wheels to living with genuine health and joy. Rather than treating yourself as the problem to be solved, this series teaches you how to recognize yourself as the solution waiting to be unlocked—awakening to the kindness that creates lasting transformation instead of forcing change through shame and criticism.
This series is built on the revolutionary idea that kindness is the key to all lasting change. Not niceness, not positivity, but honest, courageous kindness that shows up and tells the truth. It's trauma-informed, holistic, and meets you exactly where you are while gently guiding you toward where you want to be.
The A2K series doesn't promise quick fixes—it offers deep, sustainable transformation through understanding rather than forcing, wisdom rather than willpower, and self-compassion rather than self-criticism.
