Ep 8. Don't Take Things Too Personally!

Jeremy Tusia & Ilan Volchek
About this episode

Taking things personally can be energetically draining and may perhaps leave us questioning our self-worth. Whether it’s copping criticism from your boss, being told that your cooking was crap or getting rejected by someone you fancy - these are all things we may take personally, but we don’t have to. 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy & Ilan, as they explore what it means to take things personally and discuss how criticism doesn’t have to be a reflection of our self-worth. Expect to learn how to catch yourself when you start taking things personally, as well as some tips and tricks to become more unphased by the comments of others.

We hope you enjoy!
