Are you constantly battling a voice inside your head that tells you you're not good enough? What if that critical voice isn't your enemy, but a misguided protector trying to keep you safe?

Julie Van Elswyk knows this struggle intimately. As a law of attraction and worthiness coach, she's transformed her own life from a place of constant people-pleasing and self-criticism to becoming a beacon of empowerment for others.

Growing up in a large family, Julie discovered early that seeking acceptance often meant silencing her own truth. Her turning point came during her son's three-and-a-half-year battle with leukemia, a period that exposed her deepest fears and self-blame.

"My internal critic was completely out of control," Julie reveals. "I was micromanaging everything, living in constant anxiety, and feeling like I was somehow responsible for my son's illness."

Through EMDR therapy and extensive personal work, Julie uncovered a profound truth: our inner critic isn't trying to harm us, it's attempting to protect us using outdated, ineffective methods.

The key to transformation? Compassion.

"When you can look at that inner voice and say, 'I see you. I understand you're trying to help,' something magical happens," Julie explains. "The critic feels heard and becomes open to new, healthier approaches."

This isn't about eliminating the inner voice but understanding and redirecting it. Julie uses techniques like hypnotherapy, mindset coaching, and subconscious reprogramming to help her clients rewrite their internal narratives.

Walt Thiessen, the podcast host, shared a powerful perspective: "The hardest thing was realizing I wasn't a victim, but a volunteer in creating my own reality."

This shift from victimhood to empowerment is revolutionary. It means recognizing that every challenge is an opportunity for growth, not a punishment.

For those feeling stuck, Julie offers practical advice: Start by slowing down. Pay attention to what feels good. Journal. Meditate. Ask yourself what truly lights you up.

"It's about practice, not perfection," Julie emphasizes. "Each small step matters."

The most profound takeaway? You have the power to change your internal dialogue. Your worth isn't determined by external validation, but by your self-compassion and understanding.

Are you ready to silence your inner critic and step into your true potential?
