## Resource

Self-criticism feels productive. That's the trap. In this episode, Gina Livy and Maintenance group manager Odette get honest about what really happens when your plan doesn't go the way you thought it would and why beating yourself up about it isn't accountability, it's just a different kind of avoidance. They discuss what it actually means to show yourself compassion without using kindness as an excuse to stop doing the work. This episode aligns with day 43 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.
