1. Identifying the Inner Critic and Its Role in Self-Sabotage (Timestamp: 7:10) Joanna explains that the inner critic is not just a voice of negativity but a pattern of thought that has developed from early life experiences, ingrained to protect yet often limit growth. Recognizing this critical voice as separate from one’s true self creates a pathway to personal freedom, allowing for choices that align more closely with one's authentic desires and values.

Notable Quote: “The inner critic is that automated voice in your head. Recognize it, question it, and it loses its control over you.”

Embracing Self-Compassion to Move Beyond Limiting Beliefs (Timestamp: 16:30) Joanna emphasizes the power of self-compassion as a tool to dissolve self-judgment and break free from the need for perfection. She describes how self-compassion fosters a growth mindset, reducing the grip of self-criticism and making room for real, lasting change. Embracing kindness towards oneself allows for mistakes without feeling defined by them, promoting resilience and continued personal growth.
