Ep. 17 - Stop Dimming Your Shine by Judging Others and an Intro to Managing Scarcity Mindset

Ever caught yourself silently or not so silently critiquing someone's outfit, hairstyle, or physique? You're not alone. But what if that seemingly harmless judgment is actually stealing your own joy? In this episode, Laura dives into the deep truth of it: judging others dims your own shine. And we don't want that, we want to keep our shine lit and aglow!

Laura talks about the "subtle" nature of physical judgment and how it reflects more about our own insecurities than the person we're observing. She shares some of her own practical strategies to break the habit of physical critique, including shifting her focus to inner qualities or inner improvements to focus on.

Have you ever felt trapped in a conversation where someone relentlessly dissects another person's appearance? It's not an easy shift to gracefully disengage from toxic exchanges and to protect your energy.

At the heart of judgment often lies a scarcity mindset – the belief that there's not enough to go around. Laura unpacks how this "lack" mentality fuels comparison and criticism. Discover how cultivating gratitude can act as a powerful antidote, transforming those ugly thoughts into inspiration and creating a sense of abundance.

Join us as we dismantle the habit of judgment, take our power back, and learn to shine brighter by celebrating the beauty and uniqueness in everyone – including ourselves.
