EP. 24 - A New Take On Criticism - And How to Let It Go

Uff-da. I got a ROUGH review of An Overachiever's Guide To Breaking The Rules on Amazon. Like a completely scathing, take-you-by-surprise, punch-in-the-gut kind of review. While you may not get reviews of your work on Amazon, you still get criticism. That one negative thing on your performance review or comment from a colleague can swim around in your head for days, weeks, even months (or years?!?), causing worry, stress, and anxiety. Fear of getting criticized can also hold you back from putting yourself out there, speaking up, and sharing new ideas, as well as making decisions about your career and life that you know are right for you, but you're afraid others won't understand. I don't want any of this for you - and I don't want it for me either!
