In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, I'm sharing the powerful shift that changed everything for me: realizing that happiness doesn't come after success—it comes when we stop chasing and start accepting all parts of ourselves. We'll dive into how your Inner Critic keeps you stuck in fear, control, and old identities, and what it means to finally sit with yourself, hear your truth, and live from your Authentic Self. Because when you stop trying to become someone else and start remembering who you already are, your entire life begins to change. If you're ready to stop running and start creating a life from the inside out—this conversation will open the door.  Listen in.   Your weekly reflection questions: What parts of myself have I been trying to fix or hide in order to feel worthy?

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.

Alison Shamir is an expert in this field and has written a book called Conquer Your Imposter, a guide to help high achievers reclaim their self-worth. She told Jesse how we can conquer Imposter Syndrome.

Send us a textThe Customer Success Playbook podcast delivers a thought-provoking exploration of confidence building in this captivating episode featuring Kristen Nolan of Interview Valet. Hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger guide a discussion that dives into overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Kristen shares her personal journey from questioning "who cares what I have to say?" to becoming a confident podcast guest who now coaches others. With refreshing honesty about her own struggles and triumphs, she reveals how facing fears head-on can lead to remarkable personal and professional growth.Detailed AnalysisBuilding confidence isn't just a personal development goal—it's a critical professional skill, especially in customer success roles where relationships and credibility are paramount. This episode tackles the universal challenge of silencing the inner critic that so often holds professionals back from reaching their full potential.Kristen Nolan's approach to confidence building centers on one powerful concept: taking action despite doubt. She candidly shares her own hesitation when first approached about being a podcast guest, revealing that her immediate reaction was, "Who cares what I have to say?" This transparent admission resonates because it reflects a common barrier many customer success professionals face—questioning their expertise or value.What makes Kristen's perspective particularly valuable for the customer success playbook is her emphasis on how facing fears creates a feedback loop of growth. By "ripping the bandaid off" with her first podcast appearance (which she admits was "pretty terrible"), she developed skills and insights that now help her better serve clients. This practical example demonstrates how pushing through discomfort directly enhances client relationship capabilities.The conversation takes an even more profound turn when Kristen addresses self-sabotage—identifying it as one of the most significant barriers to achievement. For customer success professionals, this insight is especially relevant, as hesitation in challenging client conversations or strategic recommendations can undermine effectiveness. Kristen's advice to visualize goals and map the path backward (her "Z to A thinking") offers a tactical approach to overcome this tendency.Perhaps most powerfully, the discussion draws a connection to broader life satisfaction, referencing the common deathbed regret of "not having the courage to live authentically." This reminder elevates the conversation beyond mere professional development to touch on how building confidence impacts overall life fulfillment—a holistic perspective that aligns perfectly with the integrated work-life approach many customer success professionals strive to achieve.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

In this fun and frank conversation, I welcome back Britt Frank—licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and author of The Science of Stuck and her new book Align Your Mind: Tame Your Inner Critic, and Make Peace with Your Shadow Using the Power of Parts Work. We explore the empowering intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and shadow work, reframing our inner critic as a misguided protector, not a predator. Britt offers brilliant insights on how parts work allows us to embrace the fullness of who we are—including our compulsive habits, younger selves, and the traits we've tried to exile. Together, we dive into the potency of perimenopause and midlife as a rebirth—an invitation to reclaim our true essence and align with our deepest values. This conversation is a rallying cry to honor your wholeness, connect with your parts, and live from unapologetic authenticity.   ✨ What We Explore Together Shadow work means reconnecting with everything that's true about you—including your gifts. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is not separate from shadow work—it is shadow work in practice. The inner critic can become your internal coach when you understand it's trying to protect you. Our compulsive behaviors are survival strategies, not character defects. Reparenting your younger parts creates emotional momentum and deep healing. Midlife is not a decline—it's an initiation into your second becoming. Self-worth does not kill ambition. In fact, the more full of self-love you are, the more you can create.

Oh heyyy there, fellow parent-people struggling through the beautiful chaos! In this episode, I spill ALL the tea about how that nasty little voice in your head (you know the one that's all "you're failing at this parenting gig") isn't just making YOU feel like garbage—it's actually rewiring your kid's emotional thermometer too!

Send us a textGrace transforms the caregiver journey from a pursuit of perfection to a path of authentic love and service. When our inner critic shouts that we've fallen short - that we should be more patient, more organized, more everything - grace gently reminds us we're human, doing sacred work one imperfect day at a time.My own journey began at 16 when my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. By the time I was 20, she could no longer communicate clearly. Yet her voice lives on as my internal cheerleader, echoing the patient encouragement she offered during my childhood struggles with reading. "Keep going, honey. You're doing better than you think," she'd say beside me at the kitchen table. This growth mindset rooted in grace stands in stark contrast to the harsh inner critic we all battle.The critic shows up in our lowest moments - when we lose patience, forget appointments, or simply run out of emotional bandwidth. It replays our mistakes at 3 AM and tells us we're failing. But Romans 8:1 reminds us "there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." God's grace isn't a reward for getting it right; it's a gift freely given, especially when we feel we've gotten it all wrong. Through practical steps like pausing to identify unhelpful thoughts, reframing criticism with truth, and speaking grace aloud to ourselves, we can quiet that critical voice.You are doing better than you think. Your effort matters. Your showing up matters. Download our free "Grace for the Journey" reflection guide to help silence your inner critic and embrace the growth that happens in this challenging, beautiful season of caring.

Send us a textAre psychedelics a missing key to personal transformation in midlife?This week, I speak with Rob Grover and Gary Logan, the founders of The Journeymen Collective, a luxury guided psilocybin retreat company based in the mountains outside Vancouver, BC. These two have helped entrepreneurs, performers, couples—and yes, many women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife transitions—use guided mushroom journeys to reconnect to themselves and release emotional burdens that therapy, medication, or self-help books haven't resolved.We talk grief, depression, anxiety, the inner critic, and how to tap into the body's sacred intelligence when everything feels disconnected. Rob and Gary explain the difference between “tripping” and undergoing a true guided journey, and why that distinction matters so deeply for healing and growth.Highlights: “Most people who find us have done the therapy, read the books, tried the biohacking—and still feel stuck.”– Rob Grover“This isn't about escaping—it's about meeting yourself more deeply than ever before.” – Gary LoganHow grief led both Rob and Gary to their first journeys with magic mushrooms—and why it changed everything.Why psilocybin is not a shortcut or magic bullet, but a profound reset for the nervous system.The science, spirituality, and deep preparation that goes into their luxury retreats.Why talk therapy for 10 years often gets outpaced by 4 days of immersive guided work.A frank and beautiful discussion about anger, sadness, menopause symptoms—and how they're often calls to listen to the body, not suppress it.Links + resources:Learn more: The Journeymen CollectiveFollow Rob and Gary on Instagram and LinkedInMentioned: Red School: Menstruality EducationResearch: MAPS – Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic StudiesUse code HOTFLASH20 for 20% off at MenoLabs.comEpisode sponsor: Thanks to Menolabs for sponsoring this episode.

Send us a textWhat if the voices in your head, your doubts, your drive, your deepest wounds, weren't just background noise, but characters in a play that you could rewrite?In this episode of The Self Help Antidote, we dive into the transformative world of Anonymous Drama, a creative approach to emotional wellbeing that blends improv, wellbeing, psychology, and storytelling. Playwright, director and drama therapy advocate Mark Macnicol shares how creating scripts and characters, even if you have zero interest in “drama”, can help untangle emotional knots that feel too overwhelming to confront directly.We explore how this approach, born in places like maximum-security prisons and inspired by the therapeutic roots of improv, can help you step outside your own story just enough to see it clearly. Learn how the three core characters, the Protagonist, the Inner Critic, and the Inner Mentor mirror the ongoing dialogue in your own mind, and how naming these voices creates the space for intention, self-compassion, and conscious choice.This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about finally hearing yourself.Because once you recognize who's talking in your head, you get to decide who's actually in charge.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

It comes from showing up anyway.Brian shares how he went from being the quiet, unsure kid to becoming a bold creative entrepreneur—and how that journey was built on action, not perfection.Here are a few takeaways I think will really stick with you:✅ Confidence is a result of action – You don't have to feel ready. Just start.✅ Your self-talk shapes your story – When you name your inner critic, you can tame it.✅ You don't have to do it alone – The strongest leaders ask for help and build community on the way up.This episode is for anyone who's ever doubted themselves, anyone chasing something bigger, and anyone learning to lead from a place of purpose and self-awareness.

Send Me a Message! In the next chapter of My Therapy Reflections, I share a very significant IFS (Internal Family Systems) breakthrough that has reframed how I view some of my darkest moments. When life feels too loud and too bright (which is most of the time), I tend to mentally retreat, like hiding in a tunnel—a cold, dark place that where I sometimes I can sleep for days. But this session revealed something surprising: my internal parts weren't trying to trap me there like I had thought. They were waiting at the top, encouraging me to come back.Even my inner critic—the voice I've long seen as cruel and as my enemy—was there trying to help. Not to tear me down, but to shield me from a world I'm not built for. This unexpected shift helped me see that every part of me, even the ones I've battled with, have been trying to protect me in their own, unique way.I also uncovered a younger part of myself, frozen at age 15, holding trauma I hadn't accessed in years. That story continues in Part B. But in this episode, it's all about beginning to see your inner system not as broken, but as misunderstood. Maybe, like me, you'll start to feel compassion for the parts of yourself you once feared.Support the showTo support the show, CLICK HEREYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters

Have you ever asked yourself: "Why can't I just stop overthinking?" "Is this constant worrying normal for men?" "How can I quiet the noise in my head and be more present?" If these questions keep you up at night, you're not alone. Today's conversation offers a lifeline to a calmer, more focused mind. Joining me is Dr. Jett Stone—a clinical psychologist, author, and fellow dad. His new book, Quiet Your Mind: A Men's Guide, unpacks the relentless mental loops of overthinking, worry, and rumination that so many of us experience. Dr. Jett Stone brings a wealth of knowledge to this crucial topic, explaining the science behind why our minds get stuck and how overthinking uniquely impacts men, often centering on our deepest concerns: our kids, our marriages, and our self-worth.   Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this episode, we dig into: Why our minds won't let go of certain thoughts and the science behind rumination. How overthinking manifests specifically in men and the pressures that fuel it. Actionable, practical tools to quiet your mind without judgment, from micro-mindfulness moments to reframing self-talk. How harnessing creativity can be a surprising yet effective way to regulate your emotions. The importance of community and the barriers men face when seeking support for their mental struggles. Dr. Jett Stone's insights are crucial for any man who's ever felt trapped in their own head, struggling with worry and the constant mental noise. This episode will equip you with relatable strategies and a renewed sense of hope for a quieter, more present life.

Ever stood at your own success party and talked people OUT of celebrating you? That's exactly what I did at my own book launch, paralyzed by a merciless inner critic that had me rewriting the same book SIX times over SEVEN years. In this raw and revealing episode, I pull back the curtain on my battle with self-criticism and share the exact moment I realized my inner critic (whom I named "Esmeralda") was sabotaging my leadership and creative voice. Even after coaching C-suite executives at Fortune 200 companies, that voice telling me "I'm not good enough" still tried to drown out my achievements. The journey to authentic leadership isn't about silencing your critic forever—it's about recognizing it and moving forward anyway. In this episode, we cover:Why your inner critic gets loudest right before your most important leadership moments, and the counterintuitive approach that turns down its volumeMy embarrassing confession about what I said to guests at my own book launch party (and how it reveals the sneaky way imposter feelings show up even after achieving success)The simple naming technique that instantly creates distance between you and your critical inner voiceHow trying to avoid criticism actually smothers your authentic leadership voice and creative expressionThe question I ask myself whenever self-doubt creeps in that instantly reconnects me with my leadership purpose and silences criticismConnect with me on LinkedIn or join my monthly newsletter for exclusive strategies that go beyond what we cover in the podcast—because your leadership journey matters, especially when your voice shakes.About the Leadership Presence podcastLeadership Presence | Mastering the Inner Work of Leadership is your guide to leading with less ego and more soul.

In this episode of the Stellar Rae podcast, Dr. Laura Gallagher discusses the importance of self-acceptance and its relationship with self-growth. Drawing from her experiences at NASA and her journey in organizational psychology, she emphasizes that self-acceptance is not the opposite of self-improvement but rather a crucial component that enhances personal development. The conversation explores the psychological safety in workplaces, the journey of self-discovery, and the paradox of self-acceptance and self-improvement, particularly for high achievers. In this conversation, Dr. Laura Gallaher and Stella Rae explore the complexities of stress, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Dr. Gallaher emphasizes that stress is a subjective experience influenced by the meanings we assign to situations. She discusses the importance of self-acceptance and offers practical strategies for overcoming self-judgment, including the practice of 'taking credit' for personal achievements. The dialogue also delves into the relationship between the inner critic and the inner champion, advocating for a compassionate approach to self-talk. Dr. Gallaher shares daily habits that foster self-acceptance, including forgiveness and self-reflection, ultimately encouraging listeners to cultivate resilience and emotional well-being.Connect with Dr Gallaher on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-gallaher-phd/ Take the self acceptance quiz: https://www.gallaheredge.com/sa-quiz-lpChapters00:00 Introduction to Self-Acceptance02:00 The NASA Experience and Psychological Safety04:56 The Journey to Self-Acceptance09:53 Defining Self-Acceptance vs. Self-Esteem15:04 The Paradox of Self-Acceptance and Self-Improvement20:02 The Importance of Self-Acceptance in High Achievers23:47 Understanding Stress: A Personal Perspective28:01 The Journey to Self-Acceptance32:47 Practical Steps to Self-Improvement39:01 Navigating the Inner Critic and Champion44:05 Daily Habits for Self-AcceptanceEnjoy & dont forget to tweet/ig story me a screenshot of you listening!MY NEW WEBSITE!!

In this episode, you'll learn: How to identify your human design type and what it suggests about your natural decision-making process Practical ways to work with your energy instead of constantly fighting against it How to rewrite limiting stories that come from comparing your path to people with completely different designs Have you ever noticed how we're all expected to work the same way? Focus on one thing. Follow a linear path. Stick with it until you "succeed." I spent years feeling like I was doing something wrong because I couldn't make myself fit that mold. I'd get excited about a project, dive in deep, then feel my energy shift to something completely different. And instead of trusting that shift, I'd beat myself up for being "unfocused" or "lacking commitment." Sound familiar? Then I stumbled across human design. It gave me a fascinating lens to see myself differently. I was a Manifesting Generator with wiring that craves variety and multiple channels for my energy. What's stuck with me is how it's shifted the story I tell myself about who I am. We all carry these stories. Stories about being "too much" or "not enough." Too slow or too impulsive. Too quiet or too loud. And we base these stories on comparing ourselves to people who might be operating from completely different blueprints. Your human design suggests why certain people thrive under pressure while you need space to process. Why some people can make snap decisions while others need time to feel into what's right. Why pushing harder often gets you absolutely nowhere. It offers something powerful – permission to stop forcing yourself into someone else's mold. Today our guest is Erin Claire Jones.
