Chapters

In situations where you feel like your personal preferences are being judged. I know it's very easy to get defensive and to feel like, why am I being attacked for having these personal preferences that don't impact anybody else? Take a moment to step back and recognize it's not actually about you and your preferences. There's some sort of sensitivity that's coming up for those other people. And if we can lean into that empathy and that curiosity of, huh, I wonder what makes them feel like they have to defend their own choices? Then we can often get to some really interesting places.
