In this episode, I’m sharing strategies I wish I’d learned earlier in my career for handling criticism effectively. By meeting criticism with compassion, curiosity, and courage, you can process feedback constructively and confidently rather than letting it hold you back. These tools will help you stop avoiding criticism and instead learn to use it as an opportunity for growth, ultimately giving you the freedom to take bold steps toward your goals without fear of judgment.
