Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast

003: Cheldin Barlatt Rumer by Emily Golden & Joanna Kleinman

On this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we're talking to Emily's mother Ellyn Mantell. She is an Ostomy coach and mentor as well as a motivational speaker. We're diving deep into what it means to face life-threatening illness and overcoming the limiting voice of our Inner Critic so we can model authentic living to our children. In this episode, we're chatting about: *How Ellyn's Inner Critic tried to be "better" than everyone else's Inner Critic *Why helping other people can be the key to helping us dethrone our Inner Critics *What happens when we choose to not let health obstacles stand in our way *The example our mothers set for us help us understand our truth You will have a better life when you admit that you're human *When we're real with the world, our children will be able to do the same We become an action or reaction to our experiences Key Takeaways: "I started seeing my daughters blossom and become beautiful women and I started to look at where they could have modeled from. I had to accept that I had something positive to do with it." "There are no superwomen. There are no superhumans. We're all struggling to find our way."

On the first episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we're talking to Joanna's mother Judy Fox. She has 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist in private practice. She has a dual Master's Degree in Therapeutic Education and School Psychology, as well as being a certified Hypnotherapist. In this episode, we're chatting about: How the Inner Critic can show up no matter how successful you are or how much inner work we do. The distinction between our worry and the voice of our Inner Critic How Judy can tell that her Inner Critic is on her throne (and how she is able to dethrone her). How to get familiar with the Inner Critic's repetitive patterns How our struggles become our greatest lessons Our language creates our reality The role Judy's Inner Critic plays in her parenting Key Takeaways: "When it's my Inner Critic, it's far more focused on me than it is about what's going to happen and when." "When I recognize that she's chattering away, I will literally use my breath to breathe in my sense of myself and breathe out the tension. And I will say, "No, I'm not listening to you. I know that's not who I am and I'm not listening to you right now."
