When I look back, I realize that for so many years, my loudest voice was my inner critic. No matter how much I achieved, it was never enough. I would replay meetings for hours, beat myself up over small mistakes, and carry shame for days after setbacks. Maybe you can relate.

In this episode, I open my heart and share not only my own journey of shifting from self-criticism to self-compassion, but also the exact process I now teach to my clients. Together, we’ll explore how to stop fighting yourself and instead become your strongest ally.

I’ll walk you through my 3R Reset Method—how to regulate your nervous system when that inner critic flares up, how to relate to it with understanding rather than resistance, and how to rewire your self-talk so that your inner voice becomes encouraging, kind, and deeply supportive.

If you’ve ever felt “not enough”—not smart enough, not doing enough, not liked enough—I want you to know you are not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck in that boxing match with yourself. You can create more calm, more clarity, and more confidence by building a new relationship with your inner voice.

By the end of our time together, you’ll feel lighter, supported, and reminded that you are worthy of peace and self-trust.

So take a deep breath, grab your favorite cup of tea, and join me. Let’s begin the journey of quieting that inner critic—together. 💛
