Unruly Courage: Making Peace with Your Inner Critic w/ Kate Swoboda
"What do you GET to have because you did something bold, unruly, and all for you?" Kate's answer? The peace that comes with knowing that my choices have not always been easy, but that they're aligned.
What if your inner critic isn’t the enemy but a scared part of you trying (very badly) to keep you safe?
In this deeply honest, expansive conversation, I sit down with my very first life coach, Kate Swoboda, to unpack fear, self-doubt, nervous system safety, and what real courage looks like over the long haul.
Together, we explore:
- why fighting your inner critic only makes it louder
- how self-compassion is anything but fluffy
- why alignment—not ease—is the true measure of an unruly life
This episode gives brilliant insight into nuance, integrity, and reclaiming your power without harming yourself.
If you’re done white-knuckling your way through growth and ready for a more humane, sustainable way to live, lead, and create, this one’s for you. Hint: This is exactly how I went from self-loathing to self-loving.
