You will learn...
How to notice the ways you are judging yourself.
What’s really going on when you’re judging others.
Self-compassion is more productive than blaming, shaming or judging yourself.

Giving compliments is the easiest way to make someone‘s day and connect. But I‘ve noticed that the types of compliments we give are often not conducive to women‘s empowerment.
In this episode, you will learn...
As Lindsay and Lexie Kite from @beauty_redefined said in their book, ”If you give looks-based comments the power to build people up, you reinforce their power to tear people down. Continuing to focus on someone‘s looks, even in positive ways, uses the same framework and logic that makes apperance-based insults so lethal.”
