Eating Cake Podcast

Confronting Your Internal Critic

In this episode of the Eating Cake Podcast, I delve deep into the concept of the internal critic. I reflect on my personal journey of understanding this often harsh, inner voice. Through introspection and coaching, I unravel how this critic is a concoction of external voices from various influences in my life rather than my own. I provide insight on how to handle and dismantle this negative self-talk, inviting you to recognize that it was never truly your voice but a protective mechanism.

In this episode, I explore my dislike for the term "life coach" and how I see my role differently as a coach, emphasize the importance of acknowledging and working with the uncontrollable aspects of life, rather than just focusing on personal growth.

Let's be:

• fully engaged in the real, messy, imperfect experience of life, not one who promotes perfection or spiritual ideals.
• more interested loving and accepting our full humanity than in specializing in a narrow area like money coaching.
