Tim Desmond is a scholar of professional psychology rooted in self-compassion and is passionate about making a difference and providing emotional support available to people worldwide. Facing Life With More Humanity An episode you will want to listen to again and again, Tim is here to help us empaths find ways to deal with what is happening in the world right now. If you feel as though you struggle to live in this challenging modern society and process what happens on a daily basis without letting the weight of the world crush you, Tim is the guru you need to quiet your mind and accept your bodily reactions.  The need to constantly seek approval, dismiss your anger or always think about what could make something better is something that many people deal with, but it doesn't have to be this way. Understanding your capacity to be present with suffering and embrace your emotions in a compassionate way is the key to facing life with more humanity.  By giving your anger your full attention you can become your anger’s ally and understand how to be in harmony with your inner reactions. With Tim’s guidance, you can recognize your pain, bring compassion to yourself and stop getting stuck in your habitual habits to focus on the things in life that are going to push you forward.  Instead of losing sleep over assholes or issues that you are powerless against, learn how to stay more present and in turn, more human. How does Tim’s approach to self-compassion make you feel about dealing with the monumental issues found in the world today?

Holding tight to your values when life gets hard can help you stay calm through a storm. Today’s guest, Abby Corriveau, has been through a lot over the past couple of years. Her dedication to creating community, holding tight her values, and practicing gratitude has had a tremendous impact on her life. Community, Values & Gratitude Abby is a strength and sustainable movement coach who’s life was turned upside down when she found out her husband, also in the fitness industry, was cheating her. She felt she didn’t have anywhere to turn but ended up building her own community. Life changed again when she had to have intensive back surgery, causing her to reevaluate her approach to women’s fitness. When Abby felt like she’d lost everything, she realized she no longer had a fear of failure. In fact, she embraced chances like she never had before in order to create sustainable movement in her local community. By reflecting on her values, she knew that she had to build that community in order to stay true to herself. With her new community and support system, Abby has discovered the power of asking for help. Even as a solo entrepreneur, it’s okay to take a step back and let other people help you. And you never know what other people can teach you. As Abby healed through both her physical and emotional trauma, her view of the world and her career changed. There are other lifestyles and abilities out there, and just because they’re different to yours doesn’t mean they’re any less. This has caused an entire world shift for her and one that she’s been open with through her social media. Have you experienced any trauma that has changed your viewpoint? What are your core values? Share with us in the comments on the episode page.   On Today's Episode How starting a new business can help you meet and grow within your local community Why it’s important to make something you feel in your heart happen What happens when you accept the risk of failure How identifying your values will help guide you to create good in the world and have clarity with who you are and what you want to do Why you should step back and let other people help you What types of things you can learn from your children to help create your vision How healing through physical and emotional trauma can open your eyes to other lifestyles and abilities What happens when you publicly acknowledge your mistakes How your online identity will change as your personal life evolves   Quotes “I really have tried to create a physical space but also an energetic and emotional space where people will come and feel welcomed and supported in whatever may be going on in their lives that we may or may not know about.” (10:20) “I might be a sole entrepreneur here but I don’t have to do everything, I can learn to let go and trust others.” (18:02) “We’re human. How could you not make mistakes? I don’t know anyone who’s perfect and guilt-free of any kind of… everyone makes mistakes. But it’s, for me, part of my healing process is acknowledging them and owning them.” (49:36)   Resources Mentioned In This Show Abby Corriveau Website Follow Abby on Facebook | Instagram | Personal Instagram Contact Abby at abby@sustainable-movement.com Join Abby's Kettlebell Basics Workshop Join the Beautycounter Pop-Up with Steph & Alison | NYC Order The Core Four Here Nutritional Therapy Association Website Harder to Kill Radio is sponsored by the Nutritional Therapy Association.
