In this week’s solo episode, I’m diving deep into the noisy, messy world of our inner saboteurs — the critical, self-doubting, perfectionist parts that keep us spinning in circles, stuck in old stories, and wondering why change feels so hard.
Marking the second anniversary of my mother’s passing, I reflect on healing complicated relationships, the nature of forgiveness, and what it really takes to grow when you're still grieving.
You’ll hear personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and a real-time look at how I navigate the inner voices that try to hijack my progress and joy.
Pulling from my work with clients, my own healing journey, and tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Voice Dialogue, I’ll show you how to work with these parts — not by silencing or shaming them, but by meeting them with compassion and curiosity.
If you’ve ever felt like your inner critic just won’t quit…or like you keep getting in your own way…
3 Takeaways from This Episode:
🗣 Your Inner Critic Is Here to Help:
The voices that sabotage you are often working hard to protect you from pain or risk. When you learn to recognize their roots, you can respond instead of react.
💥 Honesty Is the Starting Point of Real Change:
Want freedom? Stop pretending. When you get radically honest about what’s really going on inside, everything else becomes possible.
🧍♀️ You’re Not Meant to Navigate This Alone:
Whether it’s coaching, community, or just a friend who gets it, healing happens faster (and deeper) when you’re supported.
🎧 Tune in on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
If you’re done letting self-doubt run the show and ready to finally move forward with clarity, confidence, and grounded support — let’s talk. This is the kind of work that changes everything.
