Buffi.
But\u2026she\u2019s Judge Buffi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minute I start speaking Dutch, she shows up.
She also arrives on the scene when I\u2019m speaking French, Spanish, or Czech.
(She has to show up really really fast sometimes because I only remember a few sentences in Czech but after 1 word OMG-THERE SHE IS.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s judging me, evaluating me, telling me I sound ridiculous.
Oh, and she\u2019s famous too.
She\u2019s appeared with me on national TV a few times, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judge Buffi showed up when I was on the DWDD show.
I could not find the right word and over a million people watched me mentally wrestle with Judge Buffi on live TV.
To this day, I still can\u2019t tell you who won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see\u2026.if you are not sure what you\u2019re good at and what you\u2019re not good at, you just assume you SUCK at EVERYTHING. Nothing\u2019s right. And you\u2019re so blinded by this, spiraling into shame, that you truly have no idea that you might actually be doing things right. Judge You won\u2019t let you see that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why we are all on the same team.
Why I have such deep empathy and love for my clients who struggle with English.
Because I know very well, too well, what it\u2019s like to have the Judge come up and say hi (or \u2018you SUCK\u2019) at the most inopportune times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you deal with your Judge?
I hope yours has the weekend off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
