Episode 15: Evaluating vs. Judging

Today we’re talking about a standard I recommend to my clients: self-evaluation without self-judgment.

Many of us are committed to learning, growth, and deeper self-understanding.

Judgment moves us farther away from these things. Every single time.

Setting this standard means — inside your own mind — redirecting self-judgment. Instead of judging, you’ll walk yourself through an evaluation process.

Because, unlike judgment, evaluation drives momentum and major growth. And when you regularly redirect your mind in this way, evaluation becomes the norm for assessing yourself.

We’ll talk about exactly what these two different experiences feel like, and exactly how to redirect your brain.

Thanks for listening.
