About this episode

The episode discusses how to effectively receive and process critical feedback for personal growth.

We’re back — first episode of 2026. In this episode, we catch up on what we’ve been up to during the break before diving into a topic that affects all of us: how to receive critical feedback. Why is it so hard to hear? How do you know when criticism is worth receiving — and when it’s not? And once you decide to take it seriously, how do you process it in a way that actually helps you grow instead of shutting you down? Are you a therapist or clergy? Upgrade your toolkit and earn 3.5 CE hours with our $99 course on providing ethical faith-informed therapy with Christian couples.
