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.

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.
