1321: Becoming Harder to Offend: The Truth About Judgment

n this episode, we’re diving deep into something that holds so many of us back: the fear of being judged.

Maybe you don’t avoid walking in your neighborhood, but maybe you’ve skipped going to the gym, avoided putting on a swimsuit, or stayed silent in a room because you were worried what someone might think.

👉 Here’s the truth: we all judge. We all get judged. And what matters is what we do with that reality.

Today I’m sharing:

• A client’s honest and beautiful reflection on how fear of judgment kept her from walking outside — and how she’s working to break free of that.

• How recognizing our own judgment can help soften the sting when we feel judged by others.

• The critical difference between judgment (observation) and mistreatment (unkindness or discrimination).

• Why becoming harder to offend is one of the most powerful choices you can make.

• Tools and mindset shifts you can start practicing today so that fear of judgment doesn’t cost you your joy, your memories, or your goals.

💡 Key takeaway:
Recognizing our own judgment softens our offense at others’. The next time you feel judged, pause. Remember: you’ve judged too — and that’s part of being human. What matters is how you show up for your life anyway.
