The voice in your head, the one that whispers you're too much or not enough, or that it's all too late, can run your life. In this solo episode, Jo unpacks the inner critic: what it actually is, why it gets so loud in midlife, and three powerful ways to start quietening it. It’s time to change how you talk to yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

• What the inner critic really is, and why it wasn't born mean

• Why midlife has a particular way of turning the volume up

• How to separate yourself from the voice so it loses its grip

• The one question that stops a critical thought in its tracks

• Why speaking to yourself like a good friend is more powerful than any affirmation

If you've ever spoken to yourself in a way you'd never speak to someone you love, this episode is the gentle, honest place to begin.
