When we choose, our experiences help change us into versions of ourselves more aligned with who we were created to be. Fear, mental and emotional, is a construct that stands in the way of us being our true selves. The fear may result from past trauma or experiences, but it is not always the case that what we are feeling has...2021-08-2045 minLife, Lemons & LemonDropsMeet the Authors: The Fearless Entrepreneurs, Part 1You've had an idea for a new product or service.

In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops hosts Greer and Whitnie are talking about judging and being judgmental. How can we be less judge-y? "Judgmental" is having or displaying an excessively critical point of view, often borne of the notion that we alone have the answers or the best approach. When others don't conform to how we think they should be or how we would be in their situation, we then are critical of what they do or don't do.
