Episode Synopsis

In Episode 90, Billy Donnelly stresses the importance of doing the things you like, regardless of other people's opinions/judgment. He talks about why we need to find those things that bring us joy or allow us to express ourselves or give us the opportunity to try something new, and how the unsolicited opinions of others can be detrimental to that process. He ponders why people feel the need to run down things that are different or that aren't for them rather than commending others on making bold choices or leaning into their unique tastes. However, he talks about the resulting self-doubt and shame from those situations that can derail our confidence in making such choices and prevent us from doing the things we want. He tells a pair of stories of how being on both sides of that judgment has affected him over time and the lessons he's tried to take away from each.
