Our inner voices can be the most loving, comforting and compassionate parts of ourselves. Unfortunately for many of us, they are the most critical, prickly, and unkind speakers. It's like our worst insecurities and fears are being played on loudspeaker over and over again.

It actually goes all the way back to the womb. Sound is the first sensation we experience - that's why it's so hard to shift out of that auditory world, even if it's entirely internal. If only there was a way to cut that voice off and replace it with something much more compassionate.

Thankfully, there is!

How do we silence that negative voice and find love and approval in ourselves? How do we stop doing things for people's approval and start being for ourselves?

In this episode, we talk about why silencing our inner critic is so hard, and an easy way to bring about some much needed internal quietude.

There's a connection between the sound environment and the sounds we continue to hear in our own heads. -Katie Hendricks
