Summary
Has the fear of criticism ever stopped you from putting yourself out there or going after what you really want? Oh boy can I relate. The fear of criticism kept me playing small for YEARS...and nothing that you see today as far as the Powerhouse Women event + community would exist had I kept listening to that fear. Today I'm sharing a few of the things that have helped me get out of MY own way when it comes to the fear of criticism, that I think will really help you too.
In this episode you will learn:
- That if the fear of criticism stops you from moving forward sometimes, you're so not alone
- The fears that get in our way may never totally go away, but there ARE ways that we can learn to move forward in spite of our fears
- The two things that have helped me to move past my fear of criticism and get into action around my big ideas

| 0:06.6 | really want? Oh man, can I relate? The fear of criticism kept me playing small for years. And nothing that you |
| 0:15.1 | see today as far as the powerhouse women event or community or this podcast would exist had I kept listening to that fear. |
| 0:23.0 | So today I wanted to share with you a few of the things that have helped me get out of my own way |
| 0:28.4 | when it comes to the fear of criticism that I think will really help you too. |
| 0:34.2 | Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready for more. |
| 0:41.0 | I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host and the founder of Powerhouse Women, |
| 0:44.9 | and together we'll unlock the confidence and clarity you are looking for |

| 1:03.7 | Thank you so much for tuning in today. I am recording this on the heels of a big trip that we just took where we had our very first international powerhouse women event. |

| 1:24.6 | And not only did we do an event in another country, it was in another language and we |

| 1:35.5 | come. I am no different than you. And no matter what people see on social media, none of this |
| 1:40.7 | will ever feel normal to me. And I kind of love that because the topic that we're going to talk about today ties into all of this. |
| 1:49.0 | And no matter what you see on social media, yes, it looked glamorous, it was so much fun. |
| 1:54.0 | I still am figuring all of this out as we go. |
| 1:57.0 | I just keep saying yes to opportunities that present themselves and then figure it out as I go. |
| 2:04.6 | But it wasn't that long ago that I wasn't saying yes to things. I wasn't moving forward because I was so |
| 2:14.1 | stuck in fear. Now, on the surface, what it looked like was I would say things like, I'm too busy. |
