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."
