Do you struggle with the inner critic? That voice in your head that criticizes all your ideas? Or how about the imposter voice that criticizes your worth and value as a person and says you have nothing to offer anyone?

In this episode, we’ll talk about both those voices and some very practical ways to combat them so they don’t stop us from sharing the message that God has given for us to share.
