Episode Details

Did you know that happy people are less judgmental? Nobody likes being judged… and for the judgmental ones, it doesn’t feel good either. We’ve all been judgy, and the truth is, being overly critical of others is often linked to insecurity, anxiety, perfectionism, and unhappiness.

In this week’s quickie, we’re unpacking the psychology of judgment: where it comes from, why we do it, and how to become less judgmental in a world that fuels comparison and criticism about everything from how we parent, to how we look, to how we earn and spend our money.

Judgment usually says more about our own wounds than someone else’s behaviour. So we’re exploring the psychological drivers behind judging, and psychology-backed tools to shift into a more curious, understanding, and compassionate mindset.

Tune in to hear:

• Why the ego needs to feel “right”
• The link between perfectionism and criticism
• How insecurity and comparison fuels judgment
• The connection between self-judgment and judging others
• Understanding the Fundamental Attribution Error
• The blind spots I’ve had to confront in my own judgments
• Using curiosity as the antidote to judgment
• Challenging your assumptions and biases
• Practicing self-compassion to reduce projection
