    13. Silencing the Inner Critic
    Nov 19 2024
    Struggling to shake off the shackles of perfectionism and negative self-talk? You're not alone. I’ve been there, trapped in the endless cycle of setting unachievably high standards for myself, only to end up feeling unworthy. Inspired by powerful insights from a church's Freedom Conference and Brené Brown's "The Gifts of Imperfection," I discovered a surprising link between insecurity and pride. This episode carries you along my journey, as I share how embracing self-compassion and recognizing our imperfections can lead to a more authentic relationship with ourselves and even align us more closely with a divine perspective.

    Tune in as we explore the transformative power of positive affirmations and the importance of shifting our internal dialogue. Imagine your subconscious mind as an impressionable inner child, eagerly absorbing every message we feed it. By harnessing positive self-talk, I’ve learned to silence the harsh inner critic and champion my own strengths. Join me in redefining our self-talk and nurturing every version of ourselves—past and present—with kindness and affirmation. Let’s embark on this journey together, fostering a more supportive and uplifting mindset.
