Do you have an inner critic that's always judging, shaming, or demanding perfection? You know — that little voice that quietly shapes how you see yourself and move through the world. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you!

Today I'm joined by Dr. Rachel Goldsmith Turow, clinical psychologist, researcher, mindfulness and compassion teacher, and author of The Self-Talk Workout. We chat about where our inner critic comes from, why self-criticism can sometimes feel "safe," and how it affects confidence, motivation, and mental health.

Dr. Goldsmith Turow also shares practical, evidence-based tips to shift your self-talk, build more self-compassion, and even help kids develop a healthier inner voice.

If you're ready, let's learn how to quiet the critic, shall we?
