In this episode of The Empowerment Equation, we explore the subtle but powerful difference between feedback and criticism and why knowing the difference can transform how you grow, communicate, and relate to yourself and others.

You’ll learn:

  • How feedback refines while criticism diminishes.
  • The simple permission-based question that can change the way feedback is received.
  • How to shift from harsh self-criticism to self-supportive reflection.
  • Why shame shrinks us, but compassion expands us.

Through relatable examples and practical reframes, we’ll uncover how to create an environment both internally and externally where real growth can happen without judgment. Whether you’re giving feedback to others or navigating your own inner dialogue, this conversation will help you replace the pointed finger with an open hand.

Because growth doesn’t come from tearing yourself down it comes from speaking with clarity, kindness, and care.
