Show Notes

Self-worth vs. Self-love (Opening) – Tara and Sharon discuss self-worth and its difference from self-love. Self-worth has a particular flavor to it of how valued we are by others. Self-love is different because, you can sometimes feel that you are valued but there is not a deep warm embrace.

“It is kind of like the two wings of the bird, to be really free. One is to be seen and one is to be loved; and we need both.” – Tara Brach

The Stories We Tell (6:25) – As humans, we have an incredible ability to shift the narrative. Sharon talks with Tara about the stories we tell about ourselves and those stories the world at large may be telling about us.

“If I think of my own life, the way I came to have the story about myself is completely drawn from generations of stories about who we are. My parent’s idea of who I would be; the cultures idea that this colored skin and this economic status and this religion means this. So I grew up with a self-concept that was fed by all these different streams of collective storytelling.” – Tara Brach

RAIN (12:45) ­– Tara explains the mindfulness and compassion tool known as RAIN. She talks about how nurturing our compassion can allow us to work with difficult emotions.

“Without the compassion, the deep wounds that people were working with didn’t heal, because the key element needed was self-compassion.” – Tara Brach

Love in other Words (18:30) – Love can be a squishy word that people do not like to use. Tara shares how to her, love describes a tender and awake heart space.

“It has to do with being spacious and tender and warm; it is more formless for me.” – Tara Brach

Fear and Unity (26:30) – How do we embody love while listening to others and not compromising our own integrity? Sharon and Tara talk about how to navigate the treacherous waters of bringing unity to a divisive world?
