    S2 Ep28: What to do when you feel hyper-critical

    In this episode of Enough Already, Callie shares her personal journey of moving from hyper-criticism and self-judgment to a place of self-compassion and acceptance. Growing up in the arts industry where constant evaluation and comparison were the norms, Callie learned from a young age to be hyper-critical of herself. This relentless self-criticism led to a breaking point at age 24, manifesting in a nervous breakdown that ultimately became a breakthrough moment. Callie explores how embracing self-worth, acceptance, and the celebration of uniqueness can lead to genuine growth. Drawing inspiration from a powerful quote by the Gottman Institute, this episode challenges the belief that criticism and judgment are necessary for improvement. Instead, it advocates for a path of growth rooted in compassion and self-acknowledgment. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - The impact of growing up in a hyper-critical environment and how it shaped Callie's perspective on life and self-improvement. - How constant self-evaluation and comparison can lead to burnout and a decline in mental and physical health. - The transformative power of a nervous breakdown, reframed as a breakthrough moment. - Insights into how becoming a mother accelerated Callie's journey toward self-compassion and positive growth. - Why criticism and judgment are ineffective tools for motivation and growth, and how to replace them with acceptance and acknowledgment. - Practical steps for recognizing and reducing hyper-criticism in your life. Key Quotes: - "No one grows and gets better by being put down or criticized." – The Gottman Institute  - "When I started to see the ways life was working and to see and feel the ways I uniquely contributed to life and others, I started to see ways I could grow and ways I wanted to better."
