Published on: 27th March, 2024

In this episode of the I Love Leonard podcast, host Leonard delves into the topic of being overly critical of oneself. Leonard shares his personal struggle with placing excessive pressure on himself to achieve goals, be successful, and lead a fulfilling life, acknowledging that while self-accountability is beneficial, constant self-criticism can be detrimental to mental health. Throughout the episode, Leonard advocates for extending grace and kindness to oneself, particularly in a world dominated by instant gratification via social media. Emphasizing the importance of patience and self-compassion, Leonard encourages listeners to confront and reject their inner bully, replacing negative self-talk with understanding and love. Leonard's message is clear: treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer someone else, and remember that everyone is worthy of their dream life, irrespective of the challenges faced along the way.
