[290] You Can’t Judge Yourself Into A Better Life

When everything feels heavy and a chapter closes in plain sight, it’s easy to confuse an ending with a verdict. Jess opens up about identity shifts, public judgment, and why a normal season of change can feel unbearable when the internet turns every moment into a headline. From canceling plans to protect loved ones to reimagining a community offering, she traces the quiet decisions that make space for new beginnings, even when shame tries to take the mic.

You can’t judge yourself into a better life. You can love yourself into one by trading rigid standards for realistic rhythms, measuring inputs you control, and honoring endings as the preface to beginnings. Expect practical reframes for heavy seasons, grounded encouragement for navigating holidays without perfection pressure, and a compassionate reminder that nothing is perfect behind the scenes.
