If you’ve ever been at war with your inner critic, this episode is for you. Today, we’re flipping the script and exposing the truth: most people aren’t dealing with a mere “inner critic” trying to help them improve—they're dealing with an internalized abuser. And we don’t negotiate with bullies.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through three powerful hacks for shutting down the inner critic once and for all, so you can stop getting caught in mental courtrooms and start reclaiming your energy, self-respect, and peace.
✨ Hack #1: Stop Relating to the Inner Critic as a Part of You
Just because something exists inside your mind doesn’t mean it’s a part of you. You didn’t create this voice—it came from external influences and past experiences. It’s no more a part of you than an illness or the food you ate this morning. When you stop empathizing with it, you gain the power to shut it down.
✨ Hack #2: Stop Trying to Improve Your Self-Talk—Start Talking Back
Affirmations are lovely, but they won’t disarm an internalized abuser. You don’t reason with an intruder—you kick them out. Learn how to develop a voice of resistance that fights back, stands its ground, and neutralizes the critic before it drains you of your confidence and power.
✨ Hack #3: Stop Trying to Prove Your Goodness to the Bully
You will never convince a bully that you don’t deserve to be bullied. The inner critic isn’t here to debate with you—it’s here to keep you stuck. The way out? Shut down the conversation entirely. I’ll walk you through a script to start disarming this voice today.
