Confessions with Mayra

How does compassion start, or where does it begin? What if it starts with loving yourself first and being compassionate towards yourself first? Tune in as Mayra takes us to how we can start showing compassion by looking in the mirror first.

What is compassion? And what does it look like? Can you define it? Can you act it out? Tune in with us as Mayra and guest speaker and husband Isaac dive into what compassion is, means, and looks like. Why is it so important for today and why is it sometimes hard for us to show it.

In this ephisode, I wanted to take a moment and simply give some advice and encouragement for mainly those new in motherhood that maybe find themselves in a frustrating season and are deep in the realness of it.
