28. How to stop beating yourself up and learn from past mistakes instead

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show! We all make mistakes but some of us getting stuck in them, beating ourselves up and often repeating them. In this episode, we consider how you can instead approach past mistakes with compassion and curiousity, so that we can learn from them with less judgment. So, whatever your past mistakes, this is the episode for you! In this episode I talk about a piece of work by Pragya Agarwal, the author of Sway: Unravelling Unconscious Bias.
