In this thought-provoking episode, Rebecca Grugan challenges us to look deeper into the judgments we make about others and reveals that they are often a mirror of our own insecurities, values, and unresolved issues. Rebecca discusses the concept of "perception as projection," where the judgments we pass on others reflect our own inner world. Through this episode, she encourages us to use judgment as a tool for self-awareness and personal growth by practicing curiosity and compassion. By shifting from judgment to self-reflection, we can unlock deeper truths about ourselves and grow into more compassionate, understanding individuals. Learn how to turn your judgments into opportunities for self-discovery and embrace the lessons they hold.
