So something happens that irritates you and you berate yourself for being too judgmental, eh? It might be time to rethink that judgment.
In this episode, which is the one you, dear listeners, listened to the most this season, Joe and I talk about a simple, probably all-too-common story of a teacher who condemns herself for having negative feelings in school. You might be surprised by our conclusions!

We discuss
Psychology of Boundaries: Why personal space in a busy classroom isn’t just a preference, it’s a psychological need.
Reframing “Judgment”: Why we mislabel valid annoyance as a character flaw.
Failure: How to view conflict as data instead of a disaster.
Overcoming Self-blame: The power of asking for what you need rather than internalizing the problem.
Beyond the classroom? You don’t have to be a teacher to enjoy this episode! Too many of us turn our legitimate annoyance against ourselves. Hearing how someone (who happens to be a teacher) reframed her negative experience into open-hearted understanding is good for everyone!
