In this episode I share what happened during my annual review at work and how it turned into a lesson on working with feedback without losing myself. I talk about the initial sting of reading constructive criticism, how my emotions flared up like a quick storm, and why giving myself time to process changed the way I saw the exact same words later. I reflect on what makes feedback actually useful: a safe container, mutual respect, and remembering that criticism isn’t an attack—it’s information I can use for personal refinement.
I also explore the balance between compliments and criticism, and how getting overly attached to either one can pull me out of my center. I share a simple three-step tool—consider, discern, decide—for working with anything people say, so you keep your power and your autonomy. Throughout the episode, I connect feedback at work to bigger life patterns: how I show up in partnerships, my tendency to shrink my own agency, and the reminder that everyone in my life is ultimately here to help me move forward. This is an invitation to look at how you handle feedback, reclaim your inner authority, and remember that how you see yourself will always matter more than anyone else’s opinion.
