You’re Not Broken — You’re Just Being Too Hard on Yourself

from Development Nerds with Candice Mitchell

In this episode, I sat down with Rosie for a very honest conversation about self-judgment, shame, and the quiet emotional weight many people carry especially when life doesn’t unfold the way they expected. Rosie shares what helped her move through a deeply difficult season, including the jealousy, resentment, and guilt that often stay unspoken. Candice adds context from her coaching work, where she sees these same patterns show up again and again in capable, driven people. This isn’t a conversation about “fixing yourself.” It’s about understanding yourself with more honesty and less cruelty.What you'll get from this episode:• Why shame and self-judgment often show up during hard seasons• How curiosity and compassion create more progress than criticism• Why jealousy and resentment are usually signals of hurt, not failure• How worthiness (not time or skill) is often the real thing holding people back If you’ve been telling yourself something is “wrong” with you, this episode offers a different perspective, one that feels a lot more human.Get to know Rosie:Rosie Milsom is a Self-Worth & Confidence Coach for purpose-driven women who know they’re meant for more.
