The fear of judgment only gets stronger when you avoid it. In today’s honest and eye-opening episode, Kevin and Alan share what it really feels like to be judged—online, in real life, and in your own mind. They open up with raw stories about insecurity, criticism, and learning to coexist with fear instead of running from it. From viral posts and awkward compliments to emotional growth and self-trust, this conversation will help you reflect on your own relationship with judgment—and how to move forward anyway.
