Today's episode is brought to you by two recent experiences Joyce had that made her realize that perhaps the way we speak to ourselves does, in fact, matter (and also that we need to be a lot nicer to ourselves).

We're chatting about the often automatic nature of our negative voices, where they might come from, and how to rewrite them. We cover whether our internal dialogue is really a reflection of how we've been spoken to, moving from negative to neutral self-talk, the importance of channeling how others speak to us to speak to ourselves, and the power of talking back. 

We also discuss using data to shift our mindset, self-fulfilling prophecies, how to avoid making sweeping generalizations about ourselves, and why you need to sometimes just look in the mirror and tell yourself to knock it off.
