Criticism comes with the territory. What changes everything is what you do with it when it arrives.
Not all criticism is the same and treating it like it is will either make you defensive when you should be listening, or soft when you should be holding a boundary. In this episode I break down the three types — constructive, emotional, and toxic — and why each one requires a completely different response.
The hardest part isn't the criticism itself. It's knowing your worth well enough that someone else's opinion of you doesn't get to rewrite how you see yourself. That's the work underneath the work.
I also share some practical tools for the moment criticism lands — before you respond, before you spiral, before you let it in further than it deserves to go.
If you've ever let feedback sit in your chest longer than it should have, this one's for you.
