In this episode, Joanna Kleinman —psychotherapist, leadership coach, and author of Dethroning Your Inner Critic—shares her powerful insights on overcoming the inner voice that keeps us stuck in cycles of self-doubt and unworthiness. Joanna introduces her MIND Method, a groundbreaking approach to recognizing and separating from our automatic, self-sabotaging thoughts.

We dive deep into the origins of our inner critic, why it’s so hard to silence, and how it can shape our relationships, careers, and sense of self-worth. This discussion also explores how these patterns manifest when dealing with loved ones battling addiction or other challenges—and how emotional sobriety begins with reclaiming your inner peace and purpose.

“The inner critic isn’t the enemy; it’s a program you can learn to separate from.” - Joanna Kleinman

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.

Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.

Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.

Blessings,

Tanya Gioia 🌸
