"You cannot hate yourself into a version of yourself that you love."

It's Monday morning, you're spiraling, and the "Greatest Hits" of your inner critic are playing on a loop. We've all been there. In this episode, I'm getting honest about a morning where my own systems failed and my brain went straight for the jugular.

We've been sold a lie that self-criticism is the same thing as accountability—that if we aren't "hard" on ourselves, we'll lose our edge. But guilt is a low-grade fuel that leaves nothing but soot behind.

Today, we are standing up to the noise and choosing "The Shift." I'm breaking down:

• The Identity Label vs. The Executive Adjustment: Why your brain needs data, not insults.

• The Belief Audit: How to put your negative self-talk on trial and find the evidence of your wins.

• Bridge Statements: How to move from "I'm a disaster" to a neutral, functional truth.

You can't be the CEO of your life if you're too busy being the critic of your soul. It's time to stop the self-flagellation, take the mic back from those inherited scripts, and start the adjustment.
