WORDS MATTER with Deanna Ley

"I Am On My Side."


Listen Later

This week on WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, continues the ROOTED series with a quote that sounds simple but is one of the hardest things we may ever learn how to do:

“I am on my side.”

Most of us aren’t on our own side. We’re our own worst critic, our harshest judge, our most relentless opponent. We talk to ourselves in ways we would never tolerate from another human being.

Sharing about a very recent happening in her life, Deanna explores what it really means to become your own ally instead of your own enemy and how being on your own side means taking ownership with compassion instead of cruelty and creating solutions instead of staying stuck in shame.

What Listeners Will Learn

• Why we tolerate internal criticism we would immediately shut down if it came from someone else
• What being on your own side looks like in real-life scenarios – the mirror, mistakes at work, off days with wellness, and comparison
• How to use your PEACE GAUGE to shift harsh self-talk
• Why accountability paired with compassion creates lasting change
• How to separate your behavior from your identity

Memorable Quotes

• “I am on my side.”
• “Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.” – Brené Brown
• “Does continuing to tear myself apart add to or sustain my peace in my mind, my body, and my soul?”
• “So you made a mistake. You’re not a mistake.”
• “Being on your own side means you hold yourself accountable with compassion, instead of cruelty.”
• “Growth happens in an environment of support, not shame.”

This episode is a reminder that the way you speak to yourself shapes how you show up for your life.

Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER.
