Show Notes

The inner critic and negative self-talk often feels like our own voice, but many of its harsh words aren’t truly yours. In this episode, I unpack how limiting beliefs get handed down through parents, teachers, and society, and how even one painful comment can loop in the mind as self-criticism. You’ll also learn how projections shape the way you see yourself and others, and I’ll guide you through a simple questioning process to dismantle unhelpful beliefs so you can move toward a kinder inner dialogue.

In this episode, you’ll:

  • Discover how the inner critic is formed and why it speaks so harshly.
  • Learn how projections influence your beliefs about yourself.
  • Explore a practical questioning process to dissolve negative self-talk.
