    Episode 204: The Arrogance of Self-Criticism
    Sick to death of constantly criticizing yourself? Yeah!? Well, so are WE! All that self-criticism not only damages self-esteem but can also keep us stuck in a cycle where we’re afraid to take risks or try new things. That harsh self-criticism actually hinders personal growth by creating a fear of failure and reinforcing a narrow view of who we are. So ditch that black & white thinking, accept that you're going to make mistakes and ask others to call you out when they hear you administering that epic verbal beat down, even when it's "just a joke".
