Welcome back, beautiful soul. I’m your host, Nicole Mixdorf, an Akashic healer and intuitive guide. And today I want to talk about judgment—what judgment really is, what it does to us, and what becomes possible when we let it go.

I recently had an experience come up where I was trying to uncover the reason why something happened. Because every time I face a challenge, I’ve learned—through all of the challenges I’ve been through in my life—that they’re not by accident. Challenges come up for a reason.

Instead of running away from them or distracting myself, I run directly into them now. The moment something shows up, I say to myself, something great is about to happen to me, because I know that once I get through the challenge, something incredible is on the other side every single time.

So I go straight into it. I sit with it. Usually, I open my own Akashic Records, but you can also do this through meditation, journaling, or reflection. I ask myself: What is the meaning of this? Why is this showing up right now? What message am I meant to receive? What lesson does my soul want to master from this?

What was revealed to me during this reflection was that the challenge came forward to show me how I was judging people in my life.

And I had to sit with that, because if you asked me whether I’m a judgmental person, I would have said no. And you might say the same thing about yourself.

What I realized is that much of the judgment we place on others—or on ourselves—is unconscious. We don’t always realize we’re doing it. It’s very common to attach labels to situations. We say something is good or bad, right or wrong.

But the truth is, nothing in life has inherent meaning at all. It only has the meaning we attach to it. We decide what something means. We choose the lens through which we view it. And based on that definition, we create an entire story that makes us feel a certain way about a person, a situation, or ourselves.

Just as quickly as we put a label on something, we can change it—or remove it entirely.

When judgment came up for me, I started looking at how I was judging the people closest to me. Because those are often the people we judge the most: our siblings, our parents, our partners, our children, our friends. We don’t usually talk about it. We keep it to ourselves. But these judgments live inside us.

When you judge someone, you’re not allowing them to be who they are. You’re not accepting them. You’re deciding that what they’re doing is right or wrong, even though they are a sovereign being on their own path.

You cannot control what other people do. You can only control yourself—how you respond, how you define things, how you choose to see reality.

When you judge someone, you’re trying to exert your will over their path. That places you in the energy of resistance. And you can only ever be in resistance or in allowing—you cannot be in both at the same time.

When you hold judgment in your heart, you place resistance not just over that relationship, but over your entire life. Everything becomes harder. Things take longer. You feel stuck, frustrated, blocked—because you’re resisting reality.

Reality is what it is. Fighting it drains your energy.

Peace comes through acceptance.

Acceptance doesn’t mean you like what’s happening. It means you acknowledge: This is the reality in front of me right now. And the moment you surrender to that, peace arrives.

All the mental energy you were wasting in resistance is released. That opens you up to inspiration, creativity, and solutions. You can finally find the gifts hidden in the experience.

Any time you feel stuck in your life, I invite you to get curious and ask yourself:
 Where am I judging others?
Where am I judging myself?

We judge ourselves for believing we should be further along, more successful, or for decisions we believe were wrong. But there is no such thing as a wrong decision.

Some choices lead to smoother paths. Others lead to rockier ones. But even the rocky paths contain powerful lessons for your soul.

As long as you don’t see yourself as a victim, and instead recognize that life is happening for you, every experience becomes an opportunity for growth.

We come into this life with soul contracts—to learn, to evolve, to experience. And then we’re given free will. Sometimes our choices align with our soul plan, and sometimes they don’t. None of it is wrong. It’s all learning.

Judgment creates resistance. Resistance blocks flow.

So look at your closest relationships and ask: How am I judging this person?
And then let it go.

They are on their own path. They will make their own choices. They will live with the consequences of those choices. That’s not yours to carry.

Forgiveness is an internal practice. You don’t need to tell anyone. It’s simply deciding you no longer want to carry the weight of judgment.

And then comes the deeper question: Can you love them anyway?
Can you love yourself anyway?

Love is the frequency of creation itself.

If you are trying to manifest things in your life and nothing is working, it’s often because judgment is present—toward yourself or someone else.

Let it go.

You cannot receive while you are resisting. To receive, you must be open. And openness comes from acceptance.

Even when people in the world are doing things you deeply disagree with, holding anger and hatred only adds more low-vibrational energy to the situation. It drains you and perpetuates the problem.

You can still speak up. You can still take action. But releasing judgment and sending love elevates your energy and creates space for change.

Forgiveness has nothing to do with whether someone deserves it. It’s about freeing yourself from carrying pain, resentment, and anger.

You cannot bring heavy burdens into the next version of yourself. Every time you release one, you become lighter. And life begins to flow.

That is the secret:
 Love everyone.
 Love everything.
 Be the energy of love.

Because when you embody love, you become a match for everything your heart desires.

I hope this inspires you to reflect on what you’re ready to release, forgive, and let go of—so you can step fully into peace, flow, and magic.
