Podcasts about Inner critic

If your inner narrator won't give it a rest — constantly judging, narrating, or second-guessing you — you're in good company. In this live conversation from our weekly Substack sessions, Dan sits down with meditation teacher Dawn Mauricio to explore how to work with the nonstop chatter in your mind. They dig into common pitfalls like self-judgment, overthinking, and the feeling that you're "failing" at meditation — and how small mindset shifts can turn those moments into wins. Dawn offers practical, kind, and often funny guidance for bringing gentleness and curiosity to your practice, whether your eyes are closed on the cushion or open while doomscrolling. Plus, Dan and Dawn swap tips on finding meditation community, celebrating awareness instead of berating yourself, and making mindfulness a little more doable — even when your mind won't shut up.

Send us a textDoubt's voice can sound smart, caring, even protective. It whispers you're not ready, asks what if you fail, and points to every past misstep as proof you should wait. Today we flip that script by naming the two sides of your inner voice—the protector and the leader—and showing how to train your language so your actions match the future you want, not the fear you remember.We start by mapping how self-talk becomes outcomes: thoughts spark emotions, emotions drive actions, and actions shape results. From there, we get tactical with clean, usable reframes you can try right away. Trade I hope this works for I'm built for this. Replace what if I fail with I grow with every attempt. Move I'm not ready yet into I take action and figure it out. These aren't fluffy affirmations; they're strategic prompts that cue your nervous system to lean into calculated risk and future growth.Belief needs scaffolding, so we unpack a simple three-part method to make new beliefs stick: repetition to wire the language, visualization to give your mind a target, and celebration to reward progress and lock in momentum. We pair that with a nightly alignment check—did I live as my highest self today?—so behavior becomes evidence. Act before you feel ready, gather small wins, and let those results strengthen the belief that you can handle more.By the end, you'll have a compact toolkit to shift from protector-dominated self-talk to leader-led action: precise language swaps, a repeatable belief-building loop, and a practical way to turn intention into proof.

Your inner critic: that voice in your head that says, “You're not good enough,” or “You'll never stick with this.” We all have one.

What if a powerful and profound therapy session happened without saying a single word—just by standing in a field with a 1,200-pound mirror? In this deeply personal solo episode of HEAL with Kelly, I take you inside my transformative equine therapy session, where the horses became profound teachers of authenticity, protection, boundaries, and emotional release. You'll hear how one horse reflected back my inner critic, how another embodied a protective masculine energy I had never fully experienced before, and how these encounters helped me release grief, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with my essence of joy and awe. Beyond the corral, I guide you through my process of conscious creation — from gratitude journaling to visualization practices, to the simple yet powerful phrase “Just Imagine.” You'll learn how imagination, elevated emotion, and gratitude combine to rewire the brain, shift your biochemistry, send new information into the invisible field around you, and open you up to new dimensions of infinite possibility.

I also share personal stories of loss, alignment, and rediscovery, revealing how consistent healing work and faith in divine intelligence create space for true miracles.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm sharing one of the most powerful transformations I've ever experienced—what happened when I met my Inner Critic face-to-face in the vortex energy of Sedona. From the moment “Worrying Wilhelmina” showed up, trying to make everyone happy and fix what wasn't mine to fix, I was invited into a deeper truth: that real safety doesn't come from control or perfection—it comes from presence, trust, and self-compassion.

Welcome to the Sister Episode of It's All Related! Sonia T. and Sabrina are taking over the podcast his week, and they're exploring the language of life. They're giggling about the intuitive lessons they have learned in their lives, and encouraging listeners to quiet that barking dog so that intuition can flow freely!    This week's theme is: An intuitive life is led by creativity and flexibility.   Reserve your seat at the Speed Dial Your Guidance Experience today!   Highlights: Life lessons learned from French school. [2:30] Neurodivergence and intuition in the face of rigidity. [6:22]  The delightful evolution of consciousness. [10:10] Fitting in when you are born to stand out. [14:57]  Bad vibes = control issues. [18:07]  Feeling critical? Take a nap! [22:25] Get creative and let the ideas flow. [27:00]  The beauty of context in conversation. [30:15] Tool of the Week: Embrace flexibility for an intuitive life. [35:35]    Food allergies, stifled creativity, and kazoos, oh my! This week the sisters are diving into the world of fitting in when you were born to stand out. For intuitives, fitting in can be a real challenge, whether it's in school as a child or in social situations as an adult. When you feel control, or the need to be right, creeping in, consider if what you're about to say is really necessary. Maybe it's simply your spirit nudging you to create a bit of space between you and those around you.    Your inner critic is bound to get activated, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Take a nap, take a walk, or take time to get creative. Consider if you really want to stay in a critical state of mind, and do what it takes to reset your barking dog. If you need to, write down the facts (not the feelings) so that you can make an informed decision about what is really happening around you, and then chose to live on a higher plane.    Tool of the Week: Embrace flexibility for an intuitive life.

Have you ever found yourself holding onto feelings of guilt or shame long after a difficult experience or mistake? In this episode, Jill sits down with Dr. Carolyn Allard, a leading voice in trauma-focused psychology and research. Together, they unpack the complex nature of guilt and shame, especially when these emotions become non-adaptive in the face of trauma or hardship. Carolyn, who is also the author of Transform Your Guilt and Shame: Evidence-Based Strategies to Heal from Trauma and Adversity, shares how to recognize the difference between guilt and shame and introduces the idea of “non-adaptive guilt and shame” (NAGS). You'll gain insight into how these emotions link to moral injury and other trauma responses, and walk away with actionable tools such as hindsight bias and justification analysis to better understand, challenge, and manage them.Listen and Learn: How guilt and shame differ lies in focus, as guilt is about actions and shame is about identity, and why they matterHow moral injury can emerge from situations where individuals face impossible choices that conflict with their values, leading to lasting feelings of guilt and shameWhy we feel non-adaptive guilt and shame often comes down to distorted beliefs about responsibility, justification, and values, and how understanding these patterns helps us break free from self-blame and move toward self-compassionHow hindsight bias can trick us into unfair self-judgment, and by reflecting on our choices and context at the time, we can gain a clearer, kinder perspectiveUnderstanding the difference between accountability (being answerable) and responsibility (having control or intention) and how this helps us untangle guilt and shame, process mistakes effectively, and break the self-reinforcing cycles of trauma that impair our ability to act according to our valuesResources: Transform Your Guilt and Shame: Evidence-Based Strategies to Heal from Trauma and Adversity: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781433843419 Carolyn's Website: https://www.carolynallardphd.com/Connect with Carolyn on Social Media: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/carolynallardphd.bsky.social Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/p/Carolyn-Allard-PhD LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-allard-99749155/About Carolyn B.

We're taking out the mental garbage — the “you're not enough / you're too much / who the hell do you think you are?” soundtrack — and swapping it for inner wisdom that actually serves us. Our guest, Megan Dalla-Camina, bestselling author and founder of Women Rising, breaks down 13 inner-critic archetypes and gives us a simple 3-step system to catch the story, question it, and reframe it so we can move — with clarity — toward what we actually want. She's the author of books including Simple Soulful Sacred, which brings leadership and spirituality together to offer practical, soulful pathways to help women rise into their power and awaken their inner wisdom. We also dig into how patriarchy scripts so many of these voices, why “taming” beats “silencing,” and what it looks like to let your critic ride in the car… but never drive. We Cover Why naming your inner-critic archetype gives you leverage (language = power) The light side and shadow side of traits like perfectionism (at what cost?) The 3-step loop: Catch the story → “Is it true?” → Reframe How stress and burnout reactivate old patterns — and how to get back to wise self-leadership Moving from external validation to inner wisdom (aka you're the decider) Bottom line: you may not silence your head trash forever, but you can change the relationship, reclaim your power, and let your inner wisdom lead the way.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm diving into what it really takes to move through the unknown without letting fear or control run the show. As I prepare to lead a retreat in Sedona, I'm exploring why our minds grip so tightly when life feels uncertain—and how that tension in our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system keeps us stuck in old loops of survival. When we learn to regulate our body, release the old identity that fears the unknown, and anchor into the calm trust of our future self, life begins to open in ways we could never have planned. ✨ If you've ever felt on the edge of a new chapter but afraid to let go of control, this conversation will help you step into trust, alignment, and the peace that comes from letting life lead.   Your weekly reflection questions: When you think about the next chapter of your life, do you notice your mind trying to control the unknown—or can you let yourself trust what you can't yet see?   What stories does your Inner Critic tell you when things feel uncertain, and how do those stories show up in your body?   If your future self—calm, grounded, and trusting—were here right now, how would she breathe, respond, or move through this moment?  

Are you tired of feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and never “good enough”? In this episode of Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists, host Kim Gross dives deep into the mental prison of perfectionism — the exhausting cycle that keeps women, especially those in their 20s, chasing impossible standards.

Join my upcoming Mindset Breakthrough Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/mindset-breakthrough-sign-up Take the saboteurs assessment by visiting this link: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/ In this heartfelt episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I'd like to introduce you to our cat Ubsy, who recently passed. Her quirky, joyful spirit taught me powerful lessons about being present, letting go of perfection, and finding beauty in the everyday. She was also a great challenge as all good teachers are.  Ubsy's unapologetic way of living, zoomies, head-biting, and all, reminded me (and now I'm reminding you) that living authentically and embracing the small moments is where real magic lies. We explore how tuning into your intuition and your surroundings can deepen joy, reduce stress, and reconnect you to what matters most. This is an invitation to pause, notice, and celebrate the brilliance of your life… right now, not someday. Listen to the episode and get inspired to live with more intention, presence, and delight

Whether you’re a ‘new year new me’ aficionado, a 5-year planner, or get sweaty at the thought of setting goals, this episode is for you.

Send Me a Message! In this episode, I talk about the sudden re-emergence of my old foe, the inner critic, and how it's teamed up with my perfectionism to drag me down. Together, they've convinced me that everything I do is sub-standard, fuelling insecurities and setting expectations that aren't reasonable or attainable.The best example of this? This very podcast of course! I've spent hours glued to my computer and microphone, desperately trying to record the “perfect” episode. The result has been exhaustion, frustration, and far fewer episodes released than I'd like.But here's the truth, I reckon the imperfections are what makes this show work, owing to the fact that life isn't perfect. It is riddled with mistakes, missteps, inconsistencies and lost opportunities. Because if I am able to stand by my belief that this podcast is the most honest, raw, vulnerable and fair dinkum show on the internet, the imperfections must be a part of the journey. That's the reality of living with mental illness. And that's what makes The Dysregulated Podcast stand out from the rest.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

The one that whispers "who do you think you are?" right when you're about to take a risk?In this episode, we're getting real about the inner critic, drawing on Shirzad Chamine's groundbreaking Positive Intelligence framework, that relentless internal commentary that shows up exactly when you need confidence most. We break down how these voices sabotage us in different situations, why they're so damn convincing, and the surprisingly powerful practice of actually naming and befriending them.Spoiler: Your inner critic isn't going anywhere, but once you understand what it's really doing, you can take control.Follow the Every Little Model podcast on LinkedIn for visuals from this episode and all our episodes.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm diving into what it really takes to become the creator of your destiny. For so long, my Inner Critic kept me stuck in loops of doubt, overthinking, and the search for certainty—making me believe I needed proof before I could trust myself. But everything changed when I learned how to unhook from that old identity, stop feeding the noise, and embody the calm power of my Authentic Self. From that stillness, life began to reorganize itself in ways I could never have forced. ✨ If you've ever felt torn between the pull of your vision and the weight of your fear, this conversation will show you how to step into neutrality, trust, and freedom.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where am I letting my Inner Critic overrule the future self I say I'm becoming? If I acted today from the version of me who already has what I want, what one small decision would change? Which value am I living by right now—my Inner Critic's (control/approval) or my Authentic Self's (peace/purpose)—and how can I shift in this moment?  

In this heartfelt episode of Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists, Kim Gross, opens up about the realities of aging and how perfectionism can make this transition even harder.

Join my upcoming Mindset Breakthrough Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/mindset-breakthrough-sign-up Take the saboteurs assessment by visiting this link: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/   In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I challenge the whole idea of the “comfort zone” because goodness gracious, most of the time it's not really comfortable, it's just familiar. If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, or like something is calling you forward but your brain hits the brakes, you're not alone. You may actually be human! We'll talk about why your inner critic (and your wiring) might label growth as danger, and how to reframe that fear as wisdom. I share personal stories, client examples, and actionable tips to help you move from self-doubt to aligned decision-making—one small, courageous step at a time. This episode is especially for the women in business (or dreaming of starting one) who are ready to expand consciously, not chaotically.

On this deep-dive episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Scott Doniger for part two of our Internal Family Systems/Parts Work series. We explore the different 'parts' we all carry—the Inner Critic, the Perfectionist, the Procrastinator, the Righteous One, and the People Pleaser—and uncover how they influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions.Scott brings clarity, insight, and practical guidance for understanding and working with these parts to create more self-compassion and inner harmony. This episode is longer than usual, but we go in-depth because some conversations just can't be rushed. If you've ever wondered why you sabotage yourself, procrastinate endlessly, or feel torn between competing impulses, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and maybe even a plan for getting along with your inner committee.

In this episode, I'm sharing what really happens when you dethrone your Inner Critic—when the old identity built on fear, doubt, and constant striving finally loses its grip. For years, I lived with that background static of overthinking and chasing certainty, believing it was just who I was. But when I learned how to step into stillness and neutrality, everything shifted—my nervous system calmed, my peace deepened, and new possibilities began to emerge effortlessly.  ✨ If you've ever felt trapped in the noise of your Inner Critic and longed for a quieter, more powerful way to live, this conversation is for you—tune in and hear how you can access the same freedom.   Your weekly reflection questions: When my Inner Critic gets loud, what exact thoughts and body sensations show up—and what changes when I simply observe them instead of fixing them?   Where in my life am I still chasing certainty or external proof, and what would neutrality and self-trust look like in that same moment?   If I stopped feeding the old “noise” for just today, what small action or stillness practice would align me with my Authentic Self?

In this episode, I sit down with one of my IFS mentors Chris Burris, LMFT, Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute, to explore one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of our inner world: the inner critic. Chris shares his personal journey with IFS and how the model offers a radical permission to approach ourselves—and our parts—with more love, kindness, and curiosity. Together, we discuss: Why people are more than the behavior of their parts The nature of inner critic parts and why pushing them away doesn't work How cultural messages often teach us to fight or silence the inner critic, rather than befriend it Common “suck points” when working with critics in therapy The role of legacy burdens in shaping our inner critics What it means to carry the critical energy of others inside us The importance of following intuition in the healing process Practical exercises to begin befriending your inner critic on your own This conversation is both grounding and liberating, offering a compassionate reframe for anyone who struggles with self-judgment or harsh inner voices.   About Chris Burris: Chris Burris, M.Ed., LCMHCS, LMFT (he/him), is a Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, providing Level II and III trainings worldwide. He has been an IFS Therapist since 1999 and a practicing psychotherapist since 1987.

Today we are going to deal with that voice in all of our heads- the one that judges, doubts, second-guesses, and compares. It tells us we're not doing enough, we're not good enough, or we're not parenting the right way. That voice, often called the inner critic, is oh so relentless. Even casual external criticism, easily fuels this voice that lives in our heads 24/7.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic, I'm diving into why the fire we see “out there” in the world is really a reflection of the wounds we carry within—and how fear can actually become the path to your transformation. From breaking cycles of shame and comparison, to embodying the emotions of the life you want now, to remembering you are who you practice being—this episode is a call to heal from the inside out. ✨ If you're ready to stop fueling the fire of fear and start becoming the light, this conversation is for you.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where in my life am I still seeing the “other” as the enemy instead of remembering there is only we? What emotion am I practicing daily—and how is it shaping the reality I'm living? What discomfort am I avoiding that might actually hold the key to my healing and growth?  

Join my upcoming Mindset Breakthrough Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/mindset-breakthrough-sign-up Are you really procrastinating, or are you afraid of your full potential? In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I explore how self-doubt and inner saboteurs like the Judge and the Avoider often wear the mask of procrastination. What if that “lazy” label you've given yourself is actually a shield against the fear of being brilliant? We'll talk about how small, compassionate steps (what I call micro wins) can help you shift from self-criticism to self-trust, and why your discomfort might actually be a signal that you're ready to grow. Whether you're building a business, writing that long-postponed blog post, or facing a personal challenge, the key is recognizing the brilliance that's already inside you. If you've ever stalled on your dreams and called it procrastination, this episode is your reminder that fear of potential is real, but it doesn't get to drive. #Procrastination #FearOfPotential #InnerSaboteurs #IntuitiveCoach #SelfConfidence #MindsetShift #womeninbusiness
