For so long, I shaped my life around who I thought I needed to be—checking the boxes, playing the roles, staying safe in the familiar. But deep down, something was always stirring: a quiet knowing that I was meant for more. In this episode, I'm inviting you into the sacred space between who you've been… and who you're becoming. We'll explore what it really means to step out of your Inner Critic's identity—the one built on perfection, control, and people-pleasing—and into the version of you who's wise, whole, and wildly free. ✨ If you've been feeling restless, like you're outgrowing the life you once worked so hard to build—this conversation is your invitation to stop performing and start returning to your truth. Listen now and begin the next chapter of your life rooted in power, presence, and your Authentic Self. Your weekly reflection questions: What version of me have I been performing—and what truth have I been hiding underneath that role? Where in my life am I still letting my Inner Critic make the decisions—and what would shift if I chose from my Authentic Self instead? If I stopped waiting for permission, recognition, or certainty… what bold step would I take next?
Have you ever felt like an impostor when presenting yourself in a new job, role, or project? It's a common obstacle when putting ourselves "out there" in the world. Perhaps you doubt your abilities or don't feel like you have enough knowledge. Perhaps you fear making mistakes, especially if a past failure haunts you. There may even be a deep seated unworthiness at the core, keeping you from following your dreams. In this episode Kathleen Aspenns and Rochana Felde talk about the facets of imposter syndrome and how Flower Essence Therapy can be tuned to each nuance. We explore the key flower and gem essences to support us in unconditionally accepting ourselves, centering ourselves in trust, valuing our worth, and finding the courage to take the next step.

“Weird isn't weird if you own it. It's your superpower.” Michael Dargie catches up with novelist and writing coach April Dávila for a conversation full of unexpected turns, from evacuating wildfires in L.A. to fondling caramel tubes at Starbucks (it's a writer thing). This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. April shares how she helps writers navigate the mental blocks that stop them from putting words on the page. Her approach blends mindfulness with craft, helping people move past their inner critic, beat imposter syndrome, and finally get the damn thing written. Her motto: persistence over talent, every day of the week. She also talks about her upcoming nonfiction book on mindfulness and writing, belly dancing as self-care, and how asking weird questions is part of the job. And yes, her first novel is set on an ostrich farm in the Mojave. Because why not? This episode is for anyone with a story in them—and a little weird in their heart. Quotable Quotes “There are two kinds of writers—those who get published, and those who quit.” “Persistence over talent. Every day of the week.” “You don't kill your inner critic. You just tell her to wait her turn.” “Once a story gets its hooks in you, you're kind of screwed.” “Weird isn't weird if you own it. It's your superpower.” Episode Highlights Wildfire Evacuation | The things you grab when you have 20 minutes Writing & Mindfulness | Coaching authors through fear and resistance The Inner Critic | Why she belongs in the corner, not the driver's seat Weird Questions | Life as a curious fiction writer Books & Backgrounds | Grapes of Wrath to pandemic romance Belly Dancing | April's answer to self-care and teenage independence Walking as Writing | Why movement unlocks creativity Creative Lives | Novels about ostriches, ultramarathons, and gold miners COVID Reading | Escaping reality with fantasy and HEA romance Rebels in Waiting | Own your weird, find your people, write the story LINKS FROM EPISODE April's Website (aprildavila.com) April's LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/aprildavila) Daily Writing Group (aprildavila.com/write) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com
For most of my life, I believed that money came from hard work—hustling, grinding, proving my worth. But deep down, that belief was rooted in fear and lack. In this episode, I'm sharing the truth that changed everything for me: you don't attract money by doing more—you attract it by shifting who you are on the inside. We'll explore how your Inner Critic has shaped your money story, how to unhook from deeply ingrained scarcity patterns, and how to align with the version of you who already feels worthy, abundant, and free. If you've been chasing success and still feeling like it's never enough—this is your wake-up call to stop striving and start receiving. Listen now and begin creating wealth from within. Your weekly reflection questions: What do I believe about money—and where did that belief come from? How would I think, feel, and act if I already trusted that abundance is who I am? In what ways is my Inner Critic still convincing me that I have to earn my worth?

Criticism lands more heavily for introverts. In this episode, I unpack why we're so deeply affected by it. More importantly, how to spot the difference between feedback and unfiltered opinion, and how to stop swallowing other people's words whole.

Spoiler: it's not a job title, a single grand calling, or something you're behind on. Purpose is about becoming more of who you already are, and that starts with self-acceptance. I'll share why I was once skeptical about the whole “find your purpose” idea, and how, through 20+ years of coaching and intuitive work, I've come to see purpose as the everyday joy of living aligned with your truth. Whether it's walking your dog, creating art, or starting that business you've been dreaming about—your purpose is found in what lights you up and connects you back to yourself. If you've ever felt unsure about your direction, or worried you're missing your “big calling,” this episode is a chance to reset that narrative. Listen in and start discovering your purpose—on your terms.

Send us a text Is your brain constantly telling you you're not good enough, or that everyone's judging you? That voice—the inner critic or inner roommate—might sound convincing, but it's not telling the truth.In this episode, I break down 7 common thinking traps like mind reading, catastrophizing, and all-or-nothing thinking, and show you how to challenge them using powerful questions.
For years, I thought manifestation was about doing more—thinking the right thoughts, visualizing harder, hustling to make my dreams come true. But beneath it all was the quiet voice of my Inner Critic, convincing me I wasn't enough yet. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what manifestation really is—and why it can't work when it's rooted in control, fear, or striving. We'll explore how to unhook from the illusion that you need to “earn” your desires, and instead, step into the version of you who already is whole, worthy, and magnetic. If you've been chasing your future while doubting your present, this is the reminder your soul has been waiting for. Listen now and return to the power of who you already are. Your weekly reflection questions: What if I already am the version of myself I've been trying to become? Where in my life am I still trying to control the outcome instead of trusting the process? How would I think, feel, and act today if I truly believed everything I desire is already on its way?

Together, they break down the psycho-spiritual aspects of the inner critic and how to best work with it from a place of love. If you are someone who is hard on yourself and has a tough time finding self-love and self-compassion, this episode will help you develop greater awareness of your inner critic, where self-judgment originates, and how you can start practicing more acceptance of yourself and others through presence, love, and compassion. The concepts and questions we explore in this episode are: How do you define love and self-love/compassion? Do you believe it's possible to transcend self-judgment? What does self-compassion look like? How does prioritizing self-love/compassion serve the world outside of yourself? Are there specific tools or techniques you can recommend to foster deeper self-compassion and self-love?

Parenting Anxious Teens | Parenting Teens, Managing Teen Anxiety, Parenting Strategies
Hi Parents! Have you ever noticed how the most critical voice in your life might be your own? That internal dialogue that questions every parenting decision, especially when your teen is struggling with anxiety can be exhausting. In today's episode, I'm joined by Sue Erhart, author of Lose Your Critic for Good for a powerful conversation on what it really takes to quiet that inner voice and reconnect with your calm, confident center. Sue shares her deeply personal journey from a high-powered corporate career to becoming a guide for others seeking peace and purpose. We explore how perfectionism and pressure create disconnection, why conventional self-help tools often miss the mark, and how small shifts in awareness can lead to lasting change, without needing to burn everything down and start over. More about Sue: Sue Erhart spent decades as a corporate executive and attorney, operating in high-stakes environments where success was measured by external achievements. But behind the scenes, she was grappling with a harsh inner critic that left her feeling stuck, depleted, and out of alignment. After a personal transformation, Sue created a platform that blends grounded wisdom with spiritual insight to help others reclaim their power and inner clarity. Her book offers a step-by-step method to break free from the grip of self-judgment and step into a more aligned, fulfilling way of living. Now, she's on a mission to help others, especially those who've spent years doing things “the hard way” - find a more compassionate path to joy, confidence, and inner freedom. If you're ready to let go of the mental noise and start parenting - and living - from a place of truth and trust, you won't want to miss this episode.

In this compelling episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with life coach and creator of The Unstoppable Man's Playbook, John Mylant, to discuss the silent struggle many men over 40 face: the inner critic. John shares how high-performing, self-employed men often deal with hidden self-doubt and fear—even when everything looks “successful” on the outside. He explains how fear subtly sabotages momentum and offers a simple but powerful mindset shift to silence that voice and let love, confidence, and decisiveness take the lead. Whether you're stuck in hesitation or seeking more purpose, this conversation helps men understand their inner barriers and choose transformation. About the Guest:John Mylant is a transformational life coach, speaker, and the founder of Own the Zone: 21-Day Challenge. With decades of life experience and self-discovery, John now dedicates his work to helping men break free from subconscious fear and reclaim their power. His bold yet grounded approach supports men in creating a life led by confidence and love, not survival mode. Key Takeaways: The inner critic is rooted in fear—it's designed to keep you safe, not successful. Most men operate from subconscious fear without even realizing it. Confidence is a conscious choice and begins with action, not perfection. Silence the inner critic by practicing awareness, logic, and mindful decision-making. Reclaiming confidence after 40 requires consistency and decisiveness, built on love, not fear.

For years, I was doing everything “right”—checking the boxes, building a life that looked good on the outside—yet deep down, something felt off. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was betraying my Authentic Self, letting old patterns and my Inner Critic run the show. In this episode, I'm sharing the deeper truth about what it really means to live your true calling—not by fixing your life, but by unhooking from the thoughts, roles, and beliefs that no longer serve you. If you've ever felt stuck, restless, or quietly wondered, “Is this really it?”—this is the conversation your soul has been waiting for. Watch now to reconnect with the version of you who's always been there, just waiting to be remembered. Your weekly reflection questions: Where in your life are you saying “yes” when your Authentic Self is quietly saying “no”? What truth have you been avoiding that your body already knows? If you stopped trying to prove, fix, or strive—who would you allow yourself to become?
