Welcome back to the show! In today’s solo episode, we’re diving into one of the most common defense mechanisms we all tend to lean on when we hear feedback we don’t like. If you’ve ever found yourself getting defensive or shutting down in these moments, you’re not alone—but what if there was a better way to respond? I’ll be sharing practical strategies to help you move past the knee-jerk reaction and embrace feedback as an opportunity for growth.
