Reading Through Life

04: The Voices in Our Heads


Listen Later

Show notes:

We’re getting comfy on the podcast therapy couch today! Sarah and Mia dive into those negative inner voices and critical thoughts that we often hear inside our heads; the ones that tell us we’re not good enough and keep us filled with fear and doubt. We also talk about where the heck these Negative Nancy voices came from and how we’re trying to move past them. 

Show quotes: 

“I think it's just the way I'm wired, because I'm such a perfectionist that when I go out to do these things, especially in a professional setting, I'm like, This isn't good enough.” -Sarah

“I don't think this comes as a surprise to anyone who knows me, but I've always had a really difficult relationship with my mother and I think a lot of those voices come from her.” -Mia
