Do you feel like your family and friends just don’t get it? Do you want to write but the ogre in your head tells you you’re unqualified or imperfect or unready? How can you build a writing life that lasts when your inner critic seems to be the loudest voice in the room?

 

In this episode, host Clarissa Moll explores where our inner critic finds its voice and how to bring balance to our fears and insecurities about our writing lives. She shares four tips to gently redirect the critics and let courage speak. Special guest Tara-Nicholle Kirke talks about the role of the inner critic and how to gain confidence that your words matter.
