This Life of Ours - When We Judge to Protect Ourselves, Ep. 11

In this episode of This Life of Ours, Coach Heather and Coach Emily invite you to slow down and take a fresh look at the world around you. Kicking things off with stories from farm life—where animals can be some of the best teachers—they share how simply watching behavior (without jumping to fix or judge) can open up surprising insights. From the farm to the grocery store, we explore what it really means to observe others with curiosity and compassion. Why do we so often turn inward with criticism instead of outward with understanding? How does the pressure to be accepted keep us from seeing people, and ourselves, clearly? The coaches dig into these questions and offer practical encouragement for shifting your focus: off of self-doubt, and onto real connection. Plus, stick around for a simple but powerful practice you can try today to strengthen your observational muscle. Because when we learn to truly see others, life gets a whole lot more interesting.
