Jan tackles one of the thorniest of our mental barriers to success – Self-Judgment. With a dead easy reframe of self-judgment to self-assessment, Jan gives you practical tools to objectively self-evaluate to eliminate the negative labeling of your value or worth. You'll feel your world lighten up, opening the door to your possibilities.

How do you feel when your self-judgment comes in? I bet if I could hear your responses right now, I'd hear things like "oh my self-judgment makes me feel flawed, stupid and "less than". Maybe you'd simply say that self-judgment makes you doubt yourself and lose confidence. I think we can all agree that self-judgment, and the resulting self-criticism does not make us feel better. In fact, it's usually the opposite, like a toxin seeping into our mind and body. Negative self-judgment weighs us down. It limits us, it causes stress, anxiety and worse.
