In this episode of Dethroning Your Inner Critic, I'm sharing the truth I wish I had learned years ago: Your vision isn't just something to do—it's something you have to become. If you've been working so hard to build the next version of your life but still feel like something isn't clicking, this conversation is for you. We'll unpack why your Inner Critic keeps you stuck in striving, how to unhook from the fear and doubt that sabotage your growth, and why the real work is aligning your nervous system with the version of you who already feels free, worthy, and ready. This is about shifting from control to trust, from force to flow—and becoming the woman who can actually hold the life she's been asking for. ✨ Listen now to find out why the version of you you're becoming is the most important part of your vision.   Your weekly reflection questions: What version of me am I becoming—and is she aligned with the vision I'm trying to create? Where in my life am I still gripping control instead of trusting the process? What old beliefs or patterns need to be released so I can fully step into the next chapter of my life?  

Beyond the Brain: Why Your 3D Identity Isn't Who You Really Are What This Episode Is Really About: We're getting real about identity—because the person you think you are… probably isn't the whole story. In this episode, Penny breaks down the neuroscience, subconscious programming, and soul-level insight behind why your 3D identity—your "I am" story, fears, and mental patterns—isn't actually who you are. It's just what your brain has been taught to believe. You'll discover how your brain's default mode network (DMN), dopamine loops, and outdated self-concepts hijack your growth—and how hypnosis can interrupt and realign these patterns at the identity level. Whether you're on a spiritual journey or simply trying to get unstuck, this episode gives you a radically empowering reframe: You are not broken. You are programmable. And you have the power to choose what you're programmed for. Highlights & Breakthroughs: How the brain creates your 3D identity through memory, comparison, and reward loops Why “I'm not good enough” is often just a dopamine-fueled safety mechanism What the default mode network (DMN) is—and how it keeps you in old patterns The difference between your brain, your mind, and consciousness Why spiritual seekers often get stuck even with all the right mindset tools How hypnosis recalibrates identity and removes subconscious blocks The Identity Matrix™ method: How Penny's process rewires self-concept at the deepest level What happens when you shift from “the person who has the problem” to “the one who no longer needs it” Real Talk: Your thoughts, fears, and "I am not enough" loops? That's just old code running on your brain's hardware. You are consciousness. Your brain is a computer. Hypnosis is the keyboard. Ready to Deepen Your Influence?

In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, host Doug Greathouse interviews entrepreneur and author Albert Pellissier, whose book "What's on Your Backburner?" challenges entrepreneurs to awaken dormant desires and confront the inner conflicts holding them back from meaningful success. Albert opens up about the intersection of faith, ambition, and laziness, and shares how God used his personal journey to help others step into their true calling. Together, Doug and Albert explore how unchecked investment bias, doom scrolling, and self-sedation habits mask our deeper purpose — and how to break free. This episode is a call to reignite what God placed in your heart long ago and to step forward with intention, clarity, and spiritual alignment.

In this episode, Kamini Wood explores the phenomenon of the inner critic, that voice of self-doubt and judgment that often becomes loudest just before a significant achievement. She explains that this is a common psychological occurrence, as the inner critic's primary, albeit misguided, function is to protect us from perceived emotional threats. Drawing on research from Dr. Valerie Young, Kamini notes that 70% of successful individuals experience this inner criticism, particularly during major career or personal milestones. The episode offers several actionable tools to manage this self-criticism, including cognitive reframing to challenge negative thoughts, mindful awareness to create space between the thought and the self, and cultivating self-compassion. Other strategies discussed are exposure and progressive action to build confidence through small steps, and journaling to externalize and challenge critical thoughts. Kamini concludes by encouraging listeners to see the loud inner critic not as a sign of inadequacy, but as an indicator that they are on the verge of significant progress.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

For so long, I believed that the only way to create a successful, fulfilling life was by pushing harder, doing more, and holding it all together—until I realized that real transformation begins the moment I stop gripping and start trusting. In this episode, I'm sharing the deeper truth about why effort alone isn't the answer—and how your Inner Critic may be keeping you stuck in fear, doubt, and striving. Together, we'll explore how to shift from force to flow, from scarcity to abundance, and from control to alignment using the MIND Method™. If you're craving more ease, clarity, and freedom—not just in what you do, but in who you're becoming—this is a conversation you don't want to miss. ✨ Tune in and begin to remember the version of you who already holds the key.   Your weekly reflection questions: What part of me is still gripping for control, and what would it feel like to finally let go? Where in my life am I chasing worth instead of embodying it? Who am I becoming when I choose alignment over striving?

I see you. I've been you. And I'm here to ask: What is it that you would like today?  We're digging into the powerful (and sneaky) influence of the inner critic—how she pushes us to do more, be more, and never ask for help. I'll share how naming your inner critic, getting curious about your unmet needs, and choosing to invest in yourself (even in small ways) can shift everything.  If you're ready to stop running on obligation and start living from clarity and self-trust, this episode will meet you right where you are. Let's talk self-care, soul connection, and quieting the inner voice that says you're only valuable when you're producing.      

In this episode, Holly and Kelly explore what it means to define and redefine your creative identity. We talk about the ways creativity helps us grow, the blocks that sneak in, and how to give yourself permission to evolve. Whether you're a long-time creator or just starting to explore your creative side, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we explore:– How to discover (and rediscover) who you are as a creative– Why letting go is key to creative growth– The fears that hold us back (and how to move through them)– Our personal journeys of redefining ourselves and the podcast– What's next for How the Wise One Grows

We live in a world that trains us to focus on negativity. A world that wants us to contract, to judge, and expect the worst from ourselves (and others). That's why being self-critical is our default. We absorb the script early: that we're not good enough, not lovable enough, not deserving of ease or joy. Over time, that internal voice becomes automatic, so automatic that we don't even hear it anymore. Then your inner landscape shifts into wholeness, and you start to notice it more. How do we shift ourselves out of that default state of negativity? Sometimes, it's as simple as anchoring ourselves with something that reminds us that we are deserving of wonderful things. A beloved stuffed animal, a goofy rubber ducky, or a simple action that interrupts the spiral, these anchors remind us of what's still possible: connection, curiosity, happiness, and love. When we surround ourselves with reminders of our softness and our worth, we start to rewrite the default script. In this playful and profound episode, we delve into how small, meaningful objects and seemingly simple rituals can evoke powerful emotional shifts. From feeding a roadrunner named Angus to discovering the magic of face-flapping, we unpack the hidden brilliance behind anchoring practices that help us come home to ourselves.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Your inner critic is running on autopilot Most of us default to self-judgment. How do we gently interrupt that loop using physical movement, play, and sensory cues? -A rubber duck can change your life Symbolic objects are a powerful way to remind ourselves of the magic of connection. How can a childhood toy or scented fabric anchor us to self-kindness and creativity when we feel stuck? -Noticing the drift How do we develop the subtle but powerful witness muscle that helps us recognize when we've left our center?

This episode is for anyone who's ever hit "submit" on a project and immediately started spiraling about everything they could have done better, or who looks successful on the outside while battling a relentless voice inside that insists they're not good enough.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/nichole-coyneLicensed clinical social worker Nichole Coyne joined MommaFoxFire for a refreshingly honest conversation about that nagging voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough. As someone who specializes in high functioning anxiety and owns Higher Ground Wellness, a virtual private practice, Coyne brought both professional expertise and personal transparency to the discussion.Your inner critic is that constant internal narrative everyone has, formed by our earliest caregivers and experiences. Coyne breaks it down into three distinct voices:The Monger is the brutal negative self-talk machine. It's the voice screaming "you're going to fail" while paradoxically pushing you to work harder to prove it wrong. This voice creates anxiety and drives that endless cycle of burnout.The BFF wants to comfort you but takes it too far. Think of that college friend who wanted to skip studying for drinks—it's all about soothing and avoiding discomfort, often leading to procrastination.The Advocate is the voice most people can barely hear. It's the one that says "that meeting was tough, but you handled it well—now go take a walk and decompress." This is the voice we need to amplify.High functioning anxiety isn't an official diagnosis, but it perfectly captures a growing phenomenon. These are the people who look incredibly successful from the outside—always meeting deadlines, showing up early, getting things done. Inside, they're battling constant self-doubt and that spiraling inner dialogue.The twist? That voice often gets loudest after completing something. You hit submit on a project and immediately start catastrophizing about every possible mistake. Sound familiar?Coyne's approach is refreshingly practical. First, acknowledge the voice. Name it. Even tell someone "my inner critic is really loud today." Once you recognize it, you can start questioning whether these thoughts are actually facts (spoiler: they're not).Her "three and five rule" is genius in its simplicity. Pick three important tasks for shorter time periods, five for longer ones. One of those tasks can be self-care, like making yourself a decent lunch. This prevents the endless to-do list spiral that leaves you feeling like you accomplished nothing despite crossing off multiple items.One of the most striking insights was how perfectionism complicates grief. Perfectionists want to fix everything, but grief requires sitting with uncomfortable feelings. This creates a dangerous loop where major losses trigger high functioning anxiety as people try to control the uncontrollable through hyper-productivity.Coyne emphasized that recovery isn't about spa days and manicures, it's about doing the hard stuff that actually serves you, like managing your budget or taking actual time off. She practices what she preaches, dedicating Sunday afternoons to disconnecting completely.The bottom line? Your thoughts aren't facts, productivity doesn't equal worth, and that critical voice doesn't have to run the show. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is absolutely nothing at all.

When author and leadership facilitator Rosi Greenberg found herself overwhelmed by self-doubt, she did something unexpected: she gave her inner critic a name — Sam — and drew him into a whimsical, deeply personal book that blends creativity, vulnerability, and behavioral insight.

Together, we explore how naming your inner critic can reframe fear, unlock creative expression, and reshape how we show up for ourselves and others.

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?  

If you have thoughts whipping around your mind at 3am or during the day come to that, so you're frequently exhausted by being caught up in the tornado of ideas, this episode is for you.

It is time to stop ghosting your needs and start taming the whirlwind so you can think deeply without losing yourself in the noise. Your thoughts are loud because you care, that is not a flaw, it is your compass.   ** Key Points ** Tame the Tornado Trap Progress trumps perfection Anchor your emotional impact   #EmotionalIntelligence #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

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. You will hear why the term constructive criticism is well past its sell-by date, and how to build your own protective criticism filter instead. As a bonus, there is a brilliant Resilience Ritual waiting for you (See resources section below)   ** Key Points ** Dismantle outdated criticism culture Reclaim power from careless comments Sharpen your personal feedback filter   #InternalisingCriticismSucks #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   Resources   Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

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.

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?

We all have an inner voice — and when it comes to money, that voice can often be our harshest critic.

How do you negotiate your mindset around debt. What are some of the most common mental health  challenges for those who are facing debt? How to find clarity around your finances.

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.   Connect with John Mylant: Email: jmylant@yahoo.com Text (U.S.): +1-719-609-2886   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Tune to all our 15 podcasts:https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter:https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Our Community:https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us:YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #MensHealth #InnerCritic #PurposeDrivenLife #MindfulnessMatters #ConfidenceAfter40 #GrowthMindset
