Episode 96 - What to Do When You Mess Up

Send us a textMistakes are a part of life–we all make them, whether it’s with ourselves, with others, or in pursuit of our goals. Even as we grow emotionally and strive for greater self-connection, our inner critical voice often shames us for every misstep. In this episode, I explore why self-compassion is key when we mess up, and how leaving self-criticism behind is essential to lasting growth. Here’s what I cover:Examples that illustrate the way we were conditioned to fear making mistakes and the lasting impact this hasHow to address the parts of yourself that are triggered when you mess up—the critic and the part that feels like you are in trouble—with compassion so you can move forward in a healthy wayWhy caring for those parts allows us to separate ourselves from the mistakes we makeSentences to say when you mess that preserve your self-respect and the sincerity of your apologyHow people pleasers often conflate their self-worth with their actions, but you deserve to make a mistake and recover from itFour questions to ask after you make a mistake to inspire a more loving response from yourselfI can't wait for you to listen.
