Are You Turning Personal Growth Into Self-Criticism?

Many of us hold ourselves to impossible standards—working longer hours, chasing more money, and feeling like it’s never enough. But what if the real struggle isn’t what you’re not doing, but what you’re believing?

Discover How Inner Peace Begins with One Powerful Question

In this episode of Wiggle Room, Todd Smith introduces the transformative practice of The Work of Byron Katie and dives deep into one of the most common self-limiting beliefs: “I’m not good enough.” If you've ever feared that self-inquiry might turn you into a doormat or cause you to excuse harmful behavior, this conversation clears the air with insight and nuance. You’ll hear real-time coaching with someone confronting their own harsh self-judgment after a long workday—and see how clarity creates power, not passivity.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

1. A clearer understanding of how self-inquiry doesn’t mean self-blame—and how it can help you reclaim your strength.

2. Why the thought “I’m not good enough” might be based on false comparisons and unrealistic standards.

3. How to uncover peace and confidence even in moments when you feel exhausted or like you haven’t done “enough.”

Press play to discover how questioning your inner critic can create space for real freedom and self-respect.
