Explanation:
This chapter emphasizes the power of self-compassion as a foundation for healing and self-respect. Too often, we expect growth to come from self-criticism, but real transformation happens through love. When you choose gentleness over judgment, you create a safe space within to evolve, forgive, and begin again. Healing is a journey—walk it with tenderness.
