In this episode of The Devil You Don’t Know, Lindsay leads the conversation on how self-judgment keeps us stuck, triggering stress responses and reinforcing negative beliefs about ourselves. Together, we break down why our brains are wired for negativity, how self-criticism raises cortisol levels by 37%, and why perfectionism—rooted in childhood experiences and amplified by social media—creates impossible standards that disconnect us from our true selves. We explore Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry as a tool for uncovering the unmet needs driving our inner critic, and how breathwork, self-compassion, and daily rituals can help us rewire these patterns. Studies show that practicing self-compassion makes people 30% more likely to stick to their goals, yet so many of us struggle to give ourselves grace. As Konda Mason puts it, "Just begin again. No judgment." If you’re ready to shift from self-judgment to self-compassion, join us for this conversation.
