Why Beating Yourself Up Isn’t Helping You Reach Your Goals


Listen Later

Hey friend! We need to talk about something that might be sabotaging your progress—and I’m not talking about your workouts or your nutrition. I’m talking about how you talk to yourself. 

We all have that inner voice, right? And for so many of us, that voice is harsh. It’s critical. It says things like: “You should be further along.” “Why can’t you be more disciplined?” “You’re so lazy. You messed up again.” And the thing is—we think that voice is helping. We think it’s keeping us in check, keeping us accountable, making sure we don’t slip.

But the truth? That voice might be the very thing holding you back from your goals.

So in today’s episode, we’re diving into what the research says about self-criticism versus self-compassion. I’m going to walk you through how to practice self-reflection without spiraling into shame, and I’ll give you actual scripts you can use to reframe negative self-talk the moment it shows up.

What I Discuss:

1. Why beating yourself up doesn’t make you more disciplined, but more discouraged.

2. What really is Self-compassion.

3. How to practice accountability without judgment by asking curious, kind questions.

4. How to change your self-talk in the moment using simple, powerful reframes.
