#261: When “It’s Never Good Enough” Is Crushing Your Farm Dreams

What if I told you there’s a simple mental trick that can instantly stop your spouse’s criticism from ruining your day?

And, it’s kind and compassionate (vs. snarky or sarcastic).

Picture this: You just had your best sales year ever. You increased revenue by 77%. You’re working harder than you’ve ever worked.

And then your partner says those four crushing words: “It’s not good enough.”

Or, “it should’ve been better.” Or any flavor of that phrase.

Sound familiar?

In this week’s episode, I coached a farmer who was living this exact nightmare. Despite tripling her production and crushing her sales goals, she was terrified of an upcoming debt payment.

Why? Because her husband’s constant criticism had her convinced she was failing.

The house wasn’t clean enough. The sales weren’t high enough. Nothing she did was ever good enough.

But here’s what changed everything…​

I taught her one mental exercise that takes 30 seconds. She went from feeling like a “dead weight” to feeling protected, confident, and strong – even when the criticism kept coming.

The best part? It’s based on neuroscience. And once you understand WHY people criticize (hint: it’s not about you), everything changes.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The biological reason we all default to criticism (and why you can’t fix them)
  • The exact words to say when someone tells you you’re not doing enough
  • A mental exercise that creates unbreakable confidence in you
  • Why you can never prove your way out of someone else’s critical brain
  • Where to find people who will actually celebrate your wins

This isn’t about bashing anyone. It’s about understanding that criticism is normal. We ALL do it. Our brains are literally wired for it.

But you don’t have to let it destroy your confidence or your dreams.

One farmer said this coaching session “changed me – I’m no longer resentful of others.” Several farmers say this coaching has saved their marriages.

Your farm dreams matter. Your progress matters. And you deserve to pursue them without apologizing or defending yourself every single day.

Listen now and protect your dreams.​

You’re not alone in this. And after listening to this episode, you’ll never let someone else’s words determine your worth again.

To your success (no matter what anyone says),

Charlotte
