When You Judge Her, You're Also Judging You
2026-06-28
In this episode of The Powherful Project, Kirsty and V explore how judging others often reflects our own self-judgment and insecurities: from social media comparisons to body image and reactions to outspoken people.
They dive into how we project our inner critic onto the world around us, the power the "mean girl" voice can hold, and how to reframe harsh thoughts that don't always reflect the truth.
The conversation highlights the value of self-acceptance and neutrality over forced self-love, with practical strategies for softening self-talk and releasing judgment.
