I’ve just uploaded the full recording of today's workshop on how to stop caring what other people think of you — without becoming an asshole, avoidant, or numb.
If you’re a VIP member, you already have access. If you haven’t watched it yet, I strongly recommend you do.
This wasn’t a motivational talk, it was a de-conditioning session.
Here’s what we worked through 👇
Most people tell themselves that they care what others think because:
- they’re “empathetic”
- they’re “considerate”
- or they don’t want to hurt people
In reality, what’s usually running the show is imagined threat, not real consequences. Not real danger.
Just old programming that treats disapproval as if it's something to defend against.
In the workshop, I break down:
- why most of the judgments you fear never actually materialises
- how trying to manage people’s opinions makes you manipulative and more likely to be judged
- the difference between causing harm and simply upsetting people
- why being liked is often the opposite of being respected, trusted, or desired
And then we move into the part most people avoid...
Practical, uncomfortable, action-based work, including:
- identifying the subtle ways you pre-emptively defend your image
- learning to endure awkwardness, silence, and negative assumptions without fixing them
- using non-defensiveness and humour in a way that actually increases respect
- advanced techniques for handling real criticism (including when to lean into it)
This is the kind of work that quietly changes how you:
- make decisions
- hold boundaries
- handle conflict
- show up socially and professionally
Not by “not caring”… But by no longer treating other people’s reactions as a threat.
It will give you full access — including this recording AND previous calls and workshops — so you can decide for yourself.
If caring what people think has ever:
- slowed your decisions
- made you softer than you respect
- kept you explaining, justifying, or shrinking
- kept you awake at night worrying about shit that just doesn't matter
This workshop alone is worth the trial.
