Podcasts about self criticism

Have you ever found yourself replaying someone else's words, assuming they were judging you? Or maybe you've caught yourself criticizing someone in your mind, convinced you're seeing the situation clearly. If so, you're not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with my friend Shannon Popkin to discuss her new book, Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Together, we explored a topic that many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly—judgment. What if the criticism we feel from others is often rooted in our own insecurities? What if the harsh standards we apply to others reveal places in our own hearts that need God's healing mercy? Through powerful stories like Jonah, the thief on the cross, and the woman caught in adultery, Shannon reminds us that while God is a righteous Judge, He is also abundantly merciful. His mercy changes how we see ourselves and how we see others. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this: we often feel judged and become judgy in response. But Jesus shows us a different way. Though He was wrongly judged, He responded with compassion, forgiveness, and grace. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why judgment and insecurity are often connected• How contempt quietly damages our relationships• What Jonah's story reveals about our own hearts• How God's mercy transforms the way we treat others• Why the cross is the ultimate picture of love and compassion Friend, if you've ever struggled with being critical of yourself or others, this conversation will encourage you and point you back to the heart of God.

Israel is no stranger to self-examination. In 1948, Ben-Gurion distributed a poem accusing Israeli soldiers of murder. In 1982, hundreds of thousands demanded accountability after Sabra and Shatila. In 2016, the IDF convicted Elor Azaria. But in a post-October 7 world of delegitimization and libels leveled at the Jewish state, that tradition is under strain. Noam unpacks the controversy around Nicholas Kristof's New York Times column, explores Israel's long, remarkable history of holding itself morally accountable, and examines why, in the face of fierce global condemnation, the country has suddenly become ultra-defensive. This episode is dedicated in memory of Armand Lindenbaum, the grandson of Rav Avigdor Amiel, by his wife, Jean, and children, Felice, Amiel, and Ariel Lindenbaum-Sebag.

In this episode, I dive deep into the brutal power of negative self‑talk — the constant voice that tells people with mental illness they're worthless, hopeless, or broken. I share my own battles with self‑criticism, suicidal ideation, and the lies my mind tells me daily, and how mindfulness, awareness, and connection have helped me fight back.This isn't about “thinking positive.” It's about survival — learning to challenge the thoughts that can kill you. I talk about the woman who believed her trauma was her fault, the ways our minds sabotage success, and how I've learned to counter those dark voices with truth, love, and trust.Because self‑criticism doesn't define us — and I'll be here next week. I hope you will be too.▶ WATCH MORE VIDEOS… ✅ 'Unseen Heroes' The Quiet Wounds - Lan Baker | ANZAC Day | Mark MI Words

You're out on your MTB and mess up. 

Parenting feels like the hardest job (sometimes even on the good days). Maximum effort, minimum (tangible) reward.Of course, we love our kids SO much but how do we balance everyone's seemingly never-ending needs with our own self care?  In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine Sellery, CEO and founder of the Conscious Parenting Revolution, to talk about how the patterns we inherited—often without even realizing it—can show up in our parenting today.A lot of what we think of as “discipline” or “normal” behavior…is actually coming from old blueprints.And over time, those patterns can either build connection—or create distance—not just with young kids, but even with adult children.We talk about:Why control-based discipline often leads to retaliation, rebellion, and resistanceThe fundamental role of nervous system safety in parent-child relationshipsWhat happens when kids don't feel seen, heard, or understoodParenting adult children and why disconnection can surface years laterThe difference between permissive, authoritarian, and connection-based parentingThe emotional weight of being a caregiver—and why it's so hard to “turn off”Self-criticism, guilt, and the patterns we can become emotionally attached toPersonal growth and emotional healing through parentingHow to begin healing generational patterns instead of passing them onHow repair and self-compassion actually strengthen relationshipsThis isn't about being a perfect parent.It's about understanding your nervous system…becoming aware of what you've inherited…and allowing parenting to become a space for emotional healing—so you can choose what gets carried forward—and what doesn't.

Why is it so hard for us to do what we actually want to do? In this episode, Forrest explains the hidden structure of self-abandonment: how shame drives the loop, how the loop produces more shame, and how the inner critic uses a “can't win” situation to keep us stuck. Then he and Dr. Rick explore what actually breaks the cycle, including the role of anger, the difference between shame and grief, self-compassion, and what it really means to get on your own side.

We started this one talking about whether building a content ecosystem around photography risks turning the work into content, and how the pressure to produce on a content timeline can collapse the space that photographs actually need. When you're operating from scarcity, you grab the recognizable brand for cheap instead of holding out for the thing that represents what you're building. That tension between immediacy and long-term identity ran through most of the conversation, how we each relate to our own work.We spent a lot of time on taste and self-criticism. Matt talked about genuinely loving many of his photographs and wondering whether that's a kind of happy cluelessness or something closer to what Eggleston described when he said he loves all his pictures. We talked about the Winogrand documentary again, the thousands of undeveloped rolls, what it means that the act of shooting might have mattered more to him than the output, and how the art world commentary around his work sounds increasingly hollow on repeat viewings. That led into mimicry versus voice, and the moment content stops being performance and starts being the thing itself. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Send a textThe sky can look spotless and still your stomach drops. That sudden jolt of self-doubt—the kind that destroys your inner peace without warning—is the launching point and our analogy to explore how faith turns turbulence into training. We connect the cockpit to the chapel, showing why the gospel isn't just a belief system; it's a design system that equips your soul for real troubles, not fairytales.We start by naming the voice that says you're not enough, then align it to clear air turbulence: invisible currents that surprise even steady travelers. From Moses' shaky start to Christ's calm in the storm, we trace how God meets us right where we feel weak and helps us understand that he says: I will be with thee. That promise reshapes identity. The world grades you on performance and streaks; Jesus calls you a child of God and promises grace that turns weakness into strength. When the adversary pushes discouragement to create spiritual paralysis, this identity breaks the spiral.I share practical gospel tips on how to overcome self-doubt by living the gospel. Prayer reconnects you to the Master Pilot who sees what you can't. Scripture recalibrates the false narratives that fuel doubt, moving the mind from self-focus to God-trust. Service disrupts isolation and proves that God works through imperfect people to answer real prayers. We return to the storm on the sea to underline a pattern: Christ calms the heart before He stills the wind. Finally, we frame covenants, repentance, and the sacrament as seatbelts—simple, steady anchors that keep you safe while life shakes. The takeaway is simple and strong: self-doubt is turbulence, not your destination. Trust the One who commands the sky, stay in your seat, and keep flying.If this message helps steady your soul, tap follow, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a quick review to help more people find their footing in the choppy air.Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

You beat yourself up after every slip. You call it accountability. The diet industry calls it discipline. Your body calls it cortisol.In this episode, Rick Taylar breaks down the 5 specific ways self-criticism is working against your weight loss, biologically, psychologically, and at the identity level. Then he shows you what people over 40 who actually break the cycle do the morning after a bad day. It's not what you'd expect.If you've been stuck in the try-fail-shame-repeat loop for years, this episode is the unlock.What You'll DiscoverWhy guilt after a slip doesn't just feel bad — it chemically schedules the next bingeHow the Identity Thermostat keeps you cycling back to your current weight no matter what you eatThe diet industry's hidden business model — and why your shame is the productThe Scientists vs. Judges framework and why you can only run one mode at a timeWhy treating your body like the enemy triggers a physiological fat-storage responseThe two-step morning-after protocol that breaks the shame spiral for goodKey ConceptsThe Identity ThermostatYour internal belief about the kind of person you are around food. No diet can override it. Every time you beat yourself up after a slip, you turn the dial down — cementing the belief that this is just who you are. The thermostat always returns you to its set point.The Shame SpiralTry a diet. Slip up. Feel shame. Eat to numb the shame. Feel more shame. The diet industry built its $250 billion business on this loop. Understanding it as a mechanical pattern — not a moral failing — is the first step out.Scientists vs. JudgesA Judge responds to a slip with a verdict: you're disgusting, you'll never change. A Scientist responds with a question: what was happening that day? What did my body actually need? One gives you something to use. The other poisons the well for tomorrow. You can't run both modes at once.The Morning-After ProtocolTwo steps. First, stability — give your body what it needs today (a decent meal, water, rest, a walk). Not punishment. Not heroics. Just stable. Second, curiosity — ask honestly what was happening yesterday and what you can learn from it. That's the whole protocol.From This Episode"You cannot hate your way to health. A body under constant attack goes into protection mode. It holds onto fat. It resists change. The hostility doesn't motivate your body. It digs in.""Suffering is not a strategy. Guilt is not data. And pain that doesn't produce insight is just pain.""Every time you beat yourself up, you're not casting a vote for accountability. You're casting a vote for who you are."

In this episode, Paul talks with Diane about why lasting change requires more than motivation and discipline.They explore how the nervous system influences behavior, why what we call “self-sabotage” is often self-protection, and how identity shapes long-term habits.Topics include:A practical definition of self-awarenessWhy most of our behavior is habitualThe difference between “wanting to want” and true desireHow the brain hijack shuts down logicWhy affirmations fail without beliefThe “thought ladder” approach to sustainable mindset shiftsUsing visualization to build identityA grounded, compassionate framework for anyone struggling to make change stick.

In this powerful episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore takes a deep dive into one of the most important (and personal) topics discussed in our community—negative self-talk. Are you your own harshest critic? Do you find it easy to be kind to others but unbearable when it comes to your own reflection? This episode is for you! Heather openly explores the critical inner dialogue that many of us experience, especially on our journeys toward body image freedom. She addresses where negative self-talk comes from, why it's so hard to stop, and shares practical steps to start recognizing, writing down, and confronting those mean inner phrases that hold us back. What You'll Learn: How negative self-talk becomes a habit The spiritual and emotional roots of self-criticism Why simply "thinking positive" isn't enough Practical tips for noticing, documenting, and challenging negative thoughts How to find community and encouragement on the road to body kindness How our deep-seated beliefs shape the way we treat ourselves Key Takeaways: You can't stop negative self-talk until you notice it—awareness is the first step. Much of our negative inner dialogue stems from lies we’ve adopted as truth, often rooted in our childhood or from past hurtful comments. Community and vulnerability are vital; you’re not alone, and healing often grows in connection with others. Action Steps: Start tuning into your self-talk. Notice and write down the harsh words you’re telling yourself. Reflect: What’s stuck with you—and who put it there? Visit the Compared to Who? community at www.waitingforweightloss.com to share your story and receive support from others on the same journey.

Okay, y'all. Buckle up for a full-body reminder: there is nothing wrong with you. In this episode, I'm throwing down the truth about judgment (yours and everyone else's), ego meltdowns, pink hair stereotypes, and what happens when you finally shut up long enough to hear what's going on in your own head. We get real about red pepper anxiety, the silent retreat that changed me, and the quote that's been living rent-free in my brain: “No one will ever love you the way you want to be loved… because that's your job.” Spoiler: there's also a blue breath meditation to clear out your throat chakra so you can speak your truth without all the noise. It's part pep talk, part truth bomb, and all heart. Let's go.

For speakers, self-awareness is essential—but too often, noticing what you're doing (or not doing) turns into harsh self-criticism. In this episode, we explore how to cultivate mindful self-awareness that informs growth without eroding confidence. You'll learn practical strategies to observe your speaking patterns, stay grounded, and use feedback—internal and external—as a tool for improvement rather than a source of shame.   Key Takeaways: Spot the line between awareness and self-criticism: Learn how to notice your speaking habits without beating yourself up. Use your body and nervous system as allies: Simple techniques to stay grounded and reduce the anxiety that fuels self-judgment. Turn reflection into growth, not guilt: Harness mindful self-awareness to strengthen presence, clarity, and confidence in every speaking moment.   For more inspiration—and to watch my free training, The Calm and Confident Communicator—head over to www.speaktoinspire.com.

Be Kinder to Yourself (Why Self-Criticism Isn't Helping You Win)This week, Michelle takes a break from guest interviews to speak directly to something that stopped her in her tracks.After sending out a listener survey, one result hit hard:80% of women said they struggle to be kind to themselves.Including Michelle.In this solo episode, Michelle unpacks how self-criticism sneaks in, why it feels productive (but isn't), and how being relentlessly hard on yourself can quietly hold you back — even when you're achieving on paper.This isn't about fluffy self-care or letting yourself off the hook.It's about awareness, honesty, and learning how to move forward without constantly tearing yourself down.Key Talking Points & Timestamps00:00 – Why this needed to be saidMichelle explains why she felt compelled to pause guest episodes and talk openly about kindness — and what triggered this realisation.01:08 – The survey result that changed everything80% of women said they struggle to be kind to themselves — and why that statistic is both comforting and alarming.02:41 – Catching the inner voice first thing in the morningHow negative self-talk was showing up before Michelle had even opened her eyes — and why that matters.03:25 – The ‘holy socks' analogyWhy we treat other people with more respect than we treat ourselves — and what that says about self-worth.04:42 – When being “hard on yourself” backfiresMichelle reflects on imposter syndrome in construction and how self-criticism limited her confidence and progression.06:22 – Building the podcast without trusting herselfGrowing a podcast from scratch, hitting big milestones — and still being unable to acknowledge progress.07:41 – When your worth gets tied to achievementWhy high-achieving women never feel like they've “arrived” — and the cost of chasing constant validation.09:00 – Starting from ‘I am enough' (without losing your drive)Insights inspired by Joe Hudson on separating self-worth from outcomes.09:35 – Fear, paralysis, and second-guessingHow being unkind to yourself fuels procrastination and decision fatigue.10:45 – The 9-day awareness exerciseA simple but powerful way to notice, track, and challenge self-critical thoughts.11:58 – Three ways to reframe unkind thoughts• Acknowledge without agreeing• Laugh at the ridiculous ones• Reframe with evidence and context13:43 – The real cost of self-criticismWhy it doesn't make you better — just more disconnected, anxious, and distrustful of yourself.14:58 – Chasing relief instead of alignmentWhy achievement doesn't bring peace if you're running from fear instead of moving with intention.16:18 – “My story isn't good enough”Why even the most impressive women downplay their journeys — and how common this mindset really is.17:54 – Living in fight-or-flight without realising itHow self-kindness helped Michelle regulate her nervous system and feel more grounded week to week.18:43 – A quiet invitation, not a challengeMichelle encourages listeners to start with one thing: not being unkind to themselves.19:22 – What's next with Dare ClubHow this work around kindness, alignment, and self-trust is shaping the future of Dare Club.Key TakeawaysBeing hard on yourself isn't discipline — it's often fear in disguiseSelf-criticism doesn't fuel progress; it creates paralysisHigh achievement without self-kindness leads to disconnectionYou can accept emotions without agreeing with themAwareness is the first step — not perfectionStarting from “I am enough” doesn't kill ambition, it steadies itSign up to Dare club Hosted on Acast.

It's never just about the weight loss.  Total self-care is about self-respect, confidence, and finally choosing yourself.  When those shift... everything changes.  

When self-criticism ramps up during eating disorder recovery, it can feel confusing or discouraging, especially when behaviors are beginning to change. This episode explores why that intensification is often part of the healing process rather than a sign that recovery is going wrong. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explains why the inner critical voice often gets louder as eating disorder behaviors decrease and familiar control systems loosen. Instead of framing self-criticism as simply negative self-talk, this episode examines it as a regulatory strategy shaped by nervous system threat, social pressure, and internalized ableism. Internalized Ableism in Eating Disorder Recovery Recovery often collides with a world that expects bodies and minds to function efficiently, consistently, and quietly. In this section, Dr. Marianne names how those expectations become internalized as harsh self-judgment, especially for neurodivergent people, people with chronic illness, and those navigating long-term eating disorders. You'll hear how internalized ableism fuels self-criticism when recovery requires pacing, support, repetition, or accommodation, and why needing these supports does not mean recovery is failing. The Inner Critic and Nervous System Threat Many people try to argue with or silence self-critical thoughts in recovery. This episode explains why that approach often backfires and intensifies the inner voice instead. Dr. Marianne explores how the inner critic functions as a response to perceived threat and why understanding its role is more effective than trying to eliminate it. Responding to Self-Criticism Without Shame This episode offers compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming ways to respond to self-criticism without turning recovery into another performance. The focus is on reducing threat, supporting regulation, and loosening the critic's authority rather than suppressing it. A brief clinical vignette illustrates how self-criticism rooted in internalized ableism can show up even when healing is actively underway. Nonlinear Eating Disorder Recovery For people with long-term or chronic eating disorders, progress often looks different than expected. This section reframes recovery as a process that prioritizes safety, accommodation, and sustainability over efficiency or perfection. Loud self-criticism does not mean failure. It often signals that a system is reorganizing in response to change. A Gentle Reminder Recovery is not about proving you can function the way the world demands. It is about building a life that supports your nervous system, your needs, and your humanity.

We talk about how bad messaging, cringe behavior, and ideological shortcuts can tank movements, including a wild DSA mishap. Pulling from Max Weber, history, and everyday politics, we argue that real progress comes down to considering real consequences and what a majority of people can actually get behind. In the Backroom, Dave and I continue our spicy conversation on “Progress and Reaction,” taking a deeper look at how parts of the left end up functioning as “shocktroops for capital.”Timestamps: 0:00 Trump's ICE Raids (Preview)3:43  The Importance of Radical Responsibility 30:45 The Responsibility of the Radical Right53:04 DSA Disaster 1:09:14 Nick Fuentes' Rise 1:25:49 Ends, means, & Intentions: The Ethics of Conviction vs ResponsibilityGUEST:David McKerracher (Theory Underground)• Theory Underground (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@theory_underground• McKerracher of TU (X): https://x.com/theoryundrgrnd• Theory Underground (Substack): https://theoryunderground.substack.com/• Underground Theory Volume 2 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZBNYSF9FOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://1dimereview.substack.com• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

As we closed the previous year reflection is everywhere, but for many of us it quickly turns into self judgment. If you've been replaying what you didn't do, wondering why you're not further along, or feeling like you somehow fell short last year then this episode is for you.   In this conversation we explore a new way to look back, one that doesn't involve beating yourself up or rewriting your worth based on outcomes. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.   This episode is for you if you're feeling behind, stuck, or disappointed with how the year unfolded. If you tend to be your own harshest critic during reflection. If you want to grow, but not at the cost of your mental or emotional health and if you're craving a softer, more honest way to close this chapter.   Let's reflect on the year with honesty and kindness.   xoxo,    Jeannet    Work with Jeannet:   Apply for one on one private coaching: https://forms.gle/bwoTL8HCUDPmM1LY8 Get my FREE workbook to help you identify the skills you can monetize with an online business: https://www.jeannetsacks.com/monetizeskills Coaching Business Workshop: This Workshop is designed to take you from newbie to launching your own Online Coaching Business or restructure your current Coaching Program so it starts making you money.

Do you offer milk as a beverage to guests? Is milk just for kids? An Ozzy Osbourne biopic is in the works. We make a list of the biopics we're surprised they haven't made yet. Pepper has some questions about scammers. We have some concerns about phone number harvesting. We chat about the movie theater that decided to restart a movie for some late customers. Some other movie theater horror stories.

It's a couple of weeks into the new year, which means many of us are probably starting to feel just the faintest resurgence of those old struggles and habits we had confidently declared that we would conquer this time. At first, we're filled with enthusiasm and hope and determination, but old habits die hard and the internal mechanisms which drive those habits are even harder to force into submission. So, what if we didn't? What if, instead of leaning into brute force, we leaned into understanding? What if we made friends with our shadows and demons so we could learn to work with them instead of fighting against them? If you find yourself on the struggle bus right now, we hope you'll join us for a discussion about personal growth through integration rather than through eradication.If you're enjoying the podcast we'd love it if you could help us spread the word by telling your friends, subscribing to the podcast, and leaving a rating or review.

In this episode of Mental Training Lab, I sit down with psychiatrist, meditation teacher, and author of The Mindful Twenty-Something,  Dr. Holly Rogers. We're breaking down how mindfulness and meditation can transform our relationship to the present moment, performance, and our lives as a whole. Holly has spent decades working with college students, emerging adults, and high performers, helping them use Vipassana (mindfulness) meditation not as a relaxation tool, but as a mental training and nervous system regulation practice. We dig into what mindfulness actually is (and isn't), why it's not about “clearing your mind” and more about expanding your stretch zone so you don't tip into overwhelm when it matters most.We also get personal. I share how these practices have helped me transform my relationship with self-criticism, including a moment where I found myself unexpectedly in tears on the cushion, able to meet a younger version of me, and his “wrestler mindset” with compassion instead of judgment. Holly brings in 30 years of clinical experience to bust the myth that being kinder to yourself will make you soft or lazy and explains why she's never once seen that happen.If you're an athlete, coach, or high performer who's curious about mindfulness, meditation, self-compassion, performance, and resilience, this conversation offers practical tools, science-backed insight, and very human stories to help you start (or restart) your own practice in a doable, sustainable way.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | Spotify This show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.

What story do you tell yourself when things don’t go as planned? Self-compassion for women over 50 isn’t about lowering your standards. It’s about releasing the grip of perfectionism that keeps you stuck.

In this episode, we'll talk about the difference between self-criticism and self-compassion in Christ, why the critic in your head is not the same as God's voice, and how to begin shifting into a kinder, more Christ-centered way of speaking to yourself.

Twitter/X Space 19 July 2025In this episode, I explore the essence of philosophy and its relevance today, reflecting on my 45-year journey. We discuss the importance of humility in philosophical discourse, inspired by Socrates' acknowledgment of ignorance, and critique the rush to judgment among "midwits." I examine moral grounding for atheists and the nature of ethics without divine justification, while engaging with diverse perspectives on morality. As we address the impact of 21st-century technology on human intimacy, I emphasize the need for self-criticism and rational discourse to deepen our understanding of morality.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
