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?

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?

If you've ever felt paralyzed by self-doubt or trapped by your own fear of failure, you are not alone. In this powerful episode, I share the exact metaphysical business framework I've used to break free from my own inner critic and create 100X growth, both personally and professionally. I know firsthand how chasing external validation, achievements, and accolades can leave high-achieving entrepreneurs, especially women, feeling deeply unfulfilled. The aggressive, masculine business model disconnects us from the truth of who we are. In this episode, I reveal how to tap into the wisdom of your higher self to reprogram your mind and release fear at its root. We begin by exploring neural rewiring techniques that interrupt self-defeating thought patterns. Through daily affirmations and emotional awareness, you'll learn how to shift from victim thinking into empowered creation. You'll discover how the law of acceptance, what I call the first law of spirit, holds the key to dissolving resistance and opening your life to divine alignment. We'll discuss: • How to identify the voice of the inner critic and where it lives in your body • Daily affirmation practices that rewire your subconscious beliefs • Conversations with God as a strategy for activating unconditional trust • Understanding that everything happening in your life is part of your divine growth journey Whether you're navigating difficult business decisions, relationship challenges, or, this episode equips you with practical metaphysical tools that honor your soul's evolution while building sustainable, soul-aligned business success.

Join my upcoming Positive Intelligence© Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/positive-intelligence-purchase-vicki-bairdJoin my upcoming In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, we're talking about something women in business don't hear enough—it's okay to celebrate yourself. Actually, it's necessary. If you've ever downplayed your success, brushed off compliments, or felt awkward about sharing your win, then this one's for you. I share how societal conditioning (and a few saboteurs like the Judge and Pleaser) can mute your confidence and keep you from acknowledging the amazing things you've done. Come on! We want to know! We'll explore the difference between self-assuredness and ego, and why authentic self-celebration is a service. One that is not just to yourself, but to those watching you lead. You'll get practical tools like how to keep an achievement journal, build a “brag buddy” system, and start owning your growth without second-guessing it. If you're ready to replace perfectionism with self-respect and finally embrace the power of your own story, listen in.
In Episode 37 of Y-Chromes, CannCon and Cam Cooksey kick off the show with a candid conversation about health, discipline, and personal accountability. They share their own struggles with consistency, the pressure to maintain physical wellness, and how mental roadblocks often sabotage progress more than anything external. The episode explores the importance of establishing structure, dealing with the temptation to quit, and finding motivation even when energy is low. With humor and unfiltered honesty, they reflect on the internal battles men face, especially the fear of failure and the voice of self-doubt that creeps in when the world feels overwhelming. This episode is a raw, real look at what it means to fight for control of your body, mind, and habits, and why it's worth it.
Is the loudest voice holding you back from achieving your dreams…yours? Entrepreneurs and leaders are often seen as confident, decisive, and unstoppable, but behind the scenes, many silently battle an inner voice that whispers: “You're not ready.” “Who do you think you are?” “Someone else could do this better.” That voice? It's your inner critic. And if left unchecked, it will keep you stuck in fear, second-guessing your every move, and playing small—even when you know you're meant for more. In this episode, we're continuing our Mojo Moves series with a powerful shift that could change everything: learning how to detox your inner critic. Plus, you'll hear visualization and mindset tools to help you reclaim your power and walk boldly toward your next chapter, without the fear-based soundtrack playing in your head.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we're diving into the hidden pattern that keeps so many of us stuck—spinning in “why” instead of creating from “what.” I'm unpacking how your Inner Critic convinces you that you need to fix yourself before you can finally feel free, successful, or at peace—and how that keeps you circling the same stories, goals, and fears without real transformation. But there's another way. When you stop analyzing your past and start asking, “What would it look like to live from my future self right now?”—everything changes. If you've been caught in the loop of overthinking, second-guessing, or waiting to feel ready, this conversation is your invitation to break the cycle and finally begin building a life from vision, presence, and power. ✨ Tune in—you're closer than you think. Your weekly reflection questions: Am I stuck in asking “why” instead of deciding “what” I want to believe, feel, or create today? What would shift if I embodied the energy of my future self right now—before anything outside of me changes? How is my Inner Critic keeping me spinning in analysis, instead of moving me toward aligned action?

Do you find yourself chasing a sense of worth that always feels just out of reach? Many of us hold ourselves hostage with our inner critic, especially when it comes to overcoming pornography. I see this pattern frequently in coaching sessions where clients believe they can't experience happiness or peace until they've "earned it" through extended periods without viewing porn. In this episode, I explore how the inner critic often mimics external voices from our past - parents, religious leaders, and societal norms. I share a four-step approach to working with your inner critic that allows you to move from a place of shame to one of self-compassion and authentic change.
