AEE 239: Say NO to the Naysayer When It Comes to Your English

In this episode of the All Ears English Podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss the importance of taking action and overcoming perfectionism in English learning and in life, inspired by a quote from Teddy Roosevelt. They emphasize that it's better to try and make mistakes than to sit back and criticize, encouraging listeners to embrace a "bias towards action." Lindsay shares her experience starting the podcast and how shifting her focus from perfection to action helped her overcome initial fears. They also discuss the negative impact of critics and the importance of creating a supportive learning environment, advocating for learners to step into their power and redefine it as action-taking rather than achieving perfection. The episode encourages listeners to focus on connection over perfection and to take the next easiest step towards their goals.
