Summary

n this episode, we’re diving deep into something that holds so many of us back: the fear of being judged.

Maybe you don’t avoid walking in your neighborhood, but maybe you’ve skipped going to the gym, avoided putting on a swimsuit, or stayed silent in a room because you were worried what someone might think.

👉 Here’s the truth: we all judge. We all get judged. And what matters is what we do with that reality.

Today I’m sharing:

A client’s honest and beautiful reflection on how fear of judgment kept her from walking outside — and how she’s working to break free of that.
How recognizing our own judgment can help soften the sting when we feel judged by others.
The critical difference between judgment (observation) and mistreatment (unkindness or discrimination).
Why becoming harder to offend is one of the most powerful choices you can make.
Tools and mindset shifts you can start practicing today so that fear of judgment doesn’t cost you your joy, your memories, or your goals.

💡 Key takeaway:
Recognizing our own judgment softens our offense at others’. The next time you feel judged, pause. Remember: you’ve judged too — and that’s part of being human. What matters is how you show up for your life anyway.

0:00.0	If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to
0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it.
0:29.2	Hello everybody. Welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton,
0:35.2	and today's episode might ruffle some feathers,
0:38.2	but hopefully it challenges you in a really good way, a positive way, and sets you free
0:45.8	in some meaningful ways. Today I want to talk about fear of judgment and maybe my slightly
0:53.7	unconventional take on it. And some of you might feel like
0:58.1	you don't really care what people think. My husband is one of those people. I think it's great.
1:02.1	Others of you might care, but not feel like it holds you back. And still others are tremendously
1:07.6	limited and consider your options based on avoiding people judging you.
1:14.5	Either way, I believe there will be something in this for you because I believe that one of the
1:21.2	best things we can develop as you know, you're listening to this if you care to some degree
1:26.7	about personal development
1:27.6	is becoming harder to offend. And so I want to talk about that today in light of judgment from
1:33.3	others or even our judgment of others. Here's where this started. I do check-ins every week with my
1:39.3	clients and I love it because I get to know them and their personalities and their circumstances and their
1:45.5	challenges. And it's such a powerful, beautiful thing. I love the way that the relationships
1:50.1	develop. But somebody said, hey, on a positive note, this is what they put in their check-in.
1:54.6	I'm doing this check-in while I'm on my walk. And she said, I always resort to hiding and trying my
