Made a mistake, repeated an old habit, or done something you already suspected wouldn’t end well? You can take responsibility without turning one choice into a verdict on who you are.

Join Dr. Christine Sauer for a reflection on self-compassion after mistakes, inspired by Sparkly’s unfortunate marshmallow experiment. With a little humour and an honest look at what happened, we can learn from the experience and choose a kinder next step.

Explore the difference between acknowledging a poor choice and condemning yourself, how to notice recurring patterns, and why accountability and kindness belong together.
