Taking the blame (and learning to drop it)

from Kind of Crushing It · host Jessica McGovern & Natalie Milosevic

Jessica and Nat unpack the exhausting cycle of blame culture, when mistakes happen at work and everyone rushes to find someone responsible. From being blamed, to blaming themselves, to catching themselves doing it to others, they reflect on how easy it is to repeat the very behaviours that once damaged your confidence.   They explore how blame can feed perfectionism, risk-aversion, and resentment, keeping people stuck in fear instead of growth.   You'll hear about: 1️⃣ How being blamed makes mistakes feel overwhelming 2️⃣ How blame culture turns high performers into overthinkers 3️⃣ Why accountability matters more than blame   If you've ever blamed yourself for things outside your control, or felt frustrated when others don't operate at the standards you set for yourself, this episode will feel very familiar. Jessica and Nat explore what it looks like to own your part, drop what isn't yours, and move forward without carrying unnecessary shame.   🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn   Have topics you want us to cover?
