In this episode of Finding Flow State, host Steph Ellen dives into the common struggle of self-criticism when we fail to live up to our own advice. Are you truly a hypocrite, or just a human trying to navigate the complexities of life?

In this solo chat, Steph riffs on:

• The difference between hypocrisy and being human
• How perfectionism and unrealistic expectations fuel self-criticism
• The neuroscience behind self-criticism and the brain’s negativity bias
• Why cognitive dissonance (internal conflict) occurs when actions don’t align with beliefs
• How to use self-compassion to rewire your brain and manage your inner critic
• Practical tips for staying aligned with your values without harsh judgment

Whether you’re a high achiever, entrepreneur, or someone seeking more self-compassion, this episode offers actionable strategies to overcome self-criticism and embrace your humanity.

This is an inspiring, nothing-off-limits conversation with Dan, a Movement & Mindset Transformation Coach living in Sydney after doing a complete 180 on his past life climbing the corporate ladder:

We chat about:

- What to do when you you feel like you're 'drifting' through life despite your achievements
- Dan's accidental journey to sobriety and a frank discussion on the influence of alcohol on our culture
- Recognising privilege whilst still recognising your challenges
- A conversation around chronic pain and how yoga was pivotal in Dan's journey


Dan began his transformation journey 14 years ago, in an attempt to improve his limited mobility in his hips which were the result of number hip reconstructions during his childhood & had left him with chronic pain, scoliosis & stage 4 osteoarthritis by the age of 35.

Dan takes the lessons taught from the ancient yogis, applied for the modern world to create powerful, lasting transformation for his clients both in body & mind.

Outside of coaching you can find him either swimming in the ocean, hiking the NSW national parks or on the sofa with his nose in a book and a cat (or two) on his lap.
