How To Handle Criticism Without Abandoning Your Work
About this episode
When you put your work out in public, the criticism comes. I am an introvert who ended up making content for a living, so I have had my share of being told I was doing the wrong thing in the wrong way. This episode is about how I handle that, with a lot of help from Epictetus.
I lean on his Enchiridion to talk through staying with your own path when people doubt it, and how to tell the difference between feedback worth taking and noise worth ignoring. If you have ever felt out of place for chasing something that matters to you, this one is for company as much as advice.
