Flexible, self-paced courses for adults, teens, caregivers, and educators—Available anytime
Hello Friends,
I’m currently chaperoning my younger daughter’s Costa Rica Spanish class field trip (joys and self-compassion takeaways to come!). While I’m away from teaching live this month, I still want to offer support.
It’s something I’ve thought about often: what happens when your desire to learn doesn’t fit with a class schedule? How can I continue to share the tools of mindful self-compassion, even when our calendars don’t align?
Because staying connected to what matters most—compassion, courage, and inner steadiness—shouldn’t depend on timing.
Whether you’re looking to refill your own well, support a teen, connect with your child, or guide others professionally, there’s something here for you. Below are four self-paced offerings—all grounded in the evidence-based Mindful Self-Compassion program and infused with warmth, playfulness, and real-world insight:
? For your own self-compassion journey
Take the official 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion course at your own pace. It was recorded with real participants and designed to help you feel connected. You’ll receive one year’s access, guided practices, and the option to earn a certificate of completion (educators can use this to earn continuing education college credit through Courses4Teachers).
✅ Ideal for anyone wanting to deepen self-compassion, especially caregivers and helping professionals.
“So many discoveries and a notebook full of lessons learned. Your playful, kind, caring approach made this course a lot of fun! I was touched countless times by all the beautiful and courageous ways people in the group shared… it didn’t feel like I was doing it alone.”
— Rebecca D., asynchronous MSC student
? For parents and kids (my personal favorite!)
This playful, heart-centered course is made for grown-ups and kids to grow self-compassion skills together. This research-based MSC adaptation can lead to decreases in anxiety and depression for kids while increasing resilience, self-compassion, and connection with your child. Includes playful exercises, kid-friendly practices, and space for meaningful conversations.
✅ Especially helpful for ages 7–11 (and their grown-ups!).
“We loved the practical exercises and dedicated time together to talk about our feelings and cultivate self-compassion. It was so healing to discuss all these things and add to our vocabulary around feelings. We will definitely use all of this! I am very grateful to have been part of this class.”
— Parent-Child Self-Compassion participant

? For teens needing a little extra support
Teens learn to work with their emotions, talk to themselves with kindness, and access inner resources for resilience. This MSC adaptation for teens is engaging, relatable, and empowering.
✅ Great for parents looking to support their teen’s emotional well-being.
“The self-compassion class was good because it helped me to be more kind and calm toward myself.”
— Amanda N., age 13
? For educators, therapists & youth educators
Do you want to bring mindfulness and self-compassion to children in your work? If you’re an educator, therapist, or parent looking to share mindfulness and self-compassion with kids, this affordable, flexible training is filled with bite-size lessons, practical guidance, and resources you can use right away. (Level 2 coming in 2026!).
✅ A great fit for adults who want to share playful, research-backed mindfulness and self-compassion with kids.
“It’s more than an educational curriculum—it’s a lifelong toolkit of coping strategies to self-regulate that will serve your students and children as well as your grown-up self.”
— Claudia Cavallaro, Level 1 graduate
If one of these offerings speaks to you—or someone you care about—now’s a wonderful time to begin. You can start anytime, go at your own pace, and feel supported by a kind, caring approach (even while I’m chaperoning my daughter’s trip ?).
With warmth and care,
Jamie Lynn
P.S. Mindful Self-Compassion changed my life (and honestly, I was going to say saved my life). I hope you take the next step—you’ll be so glad you did.
