Episode Summary

When language learning anxiety turns into self-judgment, things start to feel personal and unsafe. In this episode, I share my own experiences and explore how curiosity can be lost when anxiety takes over. As always, I emphasise the importance of self-compassion, creating safe practice spaces, and understanding anxiety as a form of protection rather than weakness.
