About this episode

How to Stop Judging Others (and Yourself)

That silent commentary you have about others—the quick, harsh judgment of a stranger—isn't as harmless as it seems. The voice you practice on them is the same one that becomes your own inner critic, eroding your happiness from the inside out. Today, we'll explore how quieting your judgment of others is the secret to finding peace with yourself.
