Come Back to Love with Robyn Vogel: Guest Dr. Laura Shakun

Healing the Past, Navigating the Present with Mindful Self-Compassion

In a heartfelt and insightful discussion, Dr. Laura Shakun joined Robyn Vogel on the Come Back To Love radio show to explore the transformative power of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). Together, they delved into how MSC can be a healing balm for past wounds and a practical tool for navigating present struggles and stress.

Dr. Shakun shared her expertise on the profound impact of integrating compassion into our daily lives. She introduced a simple yet powerful 4-step practice that listeners can use throughout their day to rewire their minds, bodies, and beings for greater compassion and love. This practice isn’t just about reflecting on past pain—it’s about cultivating a way of being that allows for more intentional, compassionate responses to ourselves and others, even in moments of difficulty.

The conversation emphasized that MSC is both a healing practice and a proactive approach to life’s challenges. By using these tools consistently, individuals can create lasting change in how they relate to themselves, their stressors, and their relationships.

Listeners will leave the conversation inspired and equipped with practical strategies to bring more self-compassion into their lives, fostering deeper love and understanding within themselves and in their connections with others.

For those local to Boston, Laura is co-leading a Mindful Self Compassion class beginning Feb 2nd.  For more information about Laura Shakun: https://www.compassiontherapy.net/
