82. How to Release Judgement

Ashlie Molstad
About this episode

This week we have another mailbag situation. The specifics of this are around political differences within a family, and how to move through them… but the overall takeaway from this podcast is how to navigate when people do things differently than you and you find yourself judging them because of it.

It could be regards to the way someone parents, conducts themselves in a relationship, handles conflict, votes, etc. It is normal for the human brain to think there way is the right way… but, that doesn’t make it easy.

I share how I was able to move through judgment over differences, and I hope you can apply some of these strategies to whatever situation in your life is causing a divide between you and them.

See you inside💥
