Description

Episode Overview:
In this episode of You Keep Me Sane, Aileen and Julie unpack the impact of judgement—how it shapes our choices, fuels fear, and feeds the inner critic. Through personal stories and honest reflection, they explore how to move beyond judgement and into self-acceptance.

Key Discussion Points:

• The Power of Judgement: How it influences self-worth and holds us back.
• Fear of Being Judged: Childhood roots, societal pressures, and how it shows up today.
• Self-Judgement: Why our inner critic often hits harder than others’ opinions.
• Breaking Free: Practical tools to embrace self-compassion and stop taking on others’ projections.

Quote to Reflect On:
"Every time you judge someone, you reveal a part of yourself that needs healing."

Listener Story:
Samantha from Victoria shares her experience with judgement and finding self-acceptance.

Takeaways:

• Notice when you judge (yourself or others) and choose compassion.
• Speak kindly to yourself—perfection isn’t the goal.
• Most people are too wrapped up in their own struggles to judge you.
• You are enough, just as you are.
