We all have that inner voice that whispers (or shouts) the things we most fear: You’re not ready. You’ll mess it up. Who do you think you are? In coaching, we call these voices “gremlins” — the self-sabotaging inner critics that feed on fear, perfectionism, and old beliefs we didn’t choose but still carry.
In this episode, Tanu coaches Cathy live through one of her own gremlins, using her signature coaching technique. This episode will give you a real, unfiltered look at how to spot your gremlin, understand where they come from, and challenge them before they run the show.
We cover:
✅ What gremlins are and how they quietly influence your decisions
✅ How to identify the patterns and triggers that activate them
✅ A live coaching conversation unpacking Cathy’s gremlin in real time
✅ Practical steps to reframe, quiet, and even befriend your gremlins
Whether your gremlin sounds like a drill sergeant, a “never enough” perfectionist, or a scared little voice keeping you small, this episode will help you see it for what it is — and take back the driver’s seat in your own life.
