EP09: Be Your Own Advocate & Get On Your Side of the Table
In this episode, Coach Jackson dives into one of the most powerful — yet underutilized — tools you have for change: becoming your own advocate. He argues that the inner critic many of us live with effectively keeps us stuck, and walks through a practical, 5‑step framework to shift that internal relationship. When you stop sitting across the table from yourself and start sitting with yourself, everything changes — especially your momentum, confidence, and consistency.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why self‑criticism often wins (and how our hardwired negativity bias plays a role)
- The “prosecutor vs. advocate” metaphor and how to move from one side of the table to the other
- Coach Jackson’s 5‑step framework to build self‑advocacy:
1. Catch the critic
2. Flip the script
3. Celebrate your wins
4. Set up your environment for success
5. Gain perspective via psychological distance - How to practically apply methods like the Five Second Rule, self‑talk in the third person, and pre‑logging your meals
- Why criticism isn’t always harmful — when used at the right ratio and with insight
Memorable Quotes:
- [03:53] “Your car is going to go where your eyes go … If you look at the problems, the challenges … those things are going to expand.”
- [10:07] “Criticism actually drains you, where advocacy fuels you.”
- [24:33] “Each and every single time … I’d hang up the phone … and I’d blast the song ‘All I Do Is Win.’ … I would anchor the win into my body.”
- [46:44] “If you slide your chair across the table … the day you decide to fight for yourself instead of fighting against yourself … that’s the day you stop being stuck and you start becoming unstoppable.”
