Hello, my beautiful burns and welcome to today's episode. So I'm yet to come up with a title for

0:06.8

this episode. I'm sure you've read the title because you've clicked on it. But it's something along

0:10.4

the lines of productive feedback to yourself, you know, like, you know, how to give yourself

0:17.3

constructive criticism, how to be accountable, call yourself out on something

0:21.2

versus negative self-talk and being critical on yourself.

0:26.7

Because they're two completely different things and I want to make that clear because

to be read, if you read it out loud, it should take roughly like no longer than a

1:19.0

minute, maybe maximum 90 seconds to read it. That way I can get through the question and then

1:23.9

give you like an in-depth answer if possible. All right. So firstly, just a little

1:28.5

update. I didn't mention this in my last episode, but on the weekend, my friend Ash was hosting an event.

1:35.9

She's a boxing coach, and she does breathwork coaching, I should say. And she hosted this event

1:41.9

at the Bondi Pavilion. It was so great. And I mentioned it on

1:45.1
