Do you ever get stuck in your thoughts? What do you usually overthink about? Today, Jay explores one of the most powerful, yet regularly overlooked, conversations we have every day: the one we have with ourselves. Too often, we become our own harshest critics, speaking to ourselves in ways we’d never speak to a friend. Jay reveals how self-criticism can disguise itself as control or accountability, when in truth, it’s a subtle form of self-sabotage that quietly erodes our confidence, creativity, and motivation. Jay reminds us that rest and reflection aren’t signs of weakness, they’re essential parts of real growth. He explains that progress is never a straight line, and that falling back, slowing down, or taking a break doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it simply means you’re human. His message is a gentle yet powerful invitation to stop tearing yourself down and start lifting yourself up, to trade shame for accountability, criticism for compassion, and restlessness for stillness. Through his words, Jay offers more than advice, he shares a roadmap for healing your relationship with yourself, embracing imperfection with grace, and finding peace in the quiet strength of self-acceptance. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Silence Your Inner Critic How to Talk to Yourself Like a Friend How to Rewire Your Brain for Positivity How to Rest Without Feeling Guilty How to Stop Letting Negativity Control You Healing begins the moment you choose kindness over criticism. Every mistake, setback, or pause is not the end of the journey, it’s part of becoming who you’re meant to be.

This one gets personal. I share my story, growing up praised for performance, losing my athletic identity, spiraling into restriction, bingeing, and running myself into the ground. A coach tells me to lose weight, shame follows, and I chase “smaller” at all costs. The shift starts with one yes: a park workout. From there, I rebuilt myself. HIIT opens the door to movement; strength training changes everything. Lifting teaches me to take up space, eat for fuel, and measure progress by power, not a scale. I define what “enough” means on my terms.In this episode of Broads, I break down how mindset questions create momentum, why one decision beats perfection, and what real progress looks like, and spoiler: It's not what you've been told. If you feel stuck, this episode is your sign. Freedom is possible. Start with one yes, and watch every other part of your life follow!What's Discussed:(00:04) The moment I finally share my real story: the messy truth behind the highlight reel(14:32) The breaking point: when discipline was really just fear in disguise(20:51) The yes that changed everything (and why it wasn't about the workout)(28:10) How lifting 250 pounds rewired my brain about worth and confidence(43:56) The one decision that flips everything, from chasing smaller to claiming freedomThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

Do you ever catch yourself saying things in your head that you would never say to a friend? Things like, “Why can't you just get it together?” or “You should be over this by now.” For a long time, I thought that kind of self-talk was motivating me to grow, but really, it just kept me stuck in shame. 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.

Too many of us try to push forward by criticizing ourselves, thinking that tearing ourselves down will spark change. It might work for a short time, but in the long run it creates an endless mental tug of war where nothing feels like enough.Instead, I share why approaching ambition with appreciation and compassion is a far more sustainable and fulfilling path. When you take time to value where you've been, where you are, and where you're going, every accomplishment carries deeper meaning. You can start showing up for yourself the way you needed at different stages of life and shift into a mindset where progress is grounded in love, not loathing.We also talk about patience with yourself while developing this mindset, because old thought patterns will always try to pull you back. But the more you practice self-compassion, the easier it becomes to navigate setbacks and get back on track without judgment.This episode is a reminder that you can achieve more, feel fulfilled, and inspire others when your ambition is fueled by kindness toward yourself.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Psychiatrist, author, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) expert Dr. Blaise Aguirre joins me to talk about how we can help kids—especially emotionally sensitive ones—understand, process, and reframe internalized messages of self-criticism and even self-hatred.   Together we explore:   Why even well-loved and supported kids can develop a sense of being “unlovable” How emotional sensitivity can make children more vulnerable to misattunement, comparisons, and internalized shame The difference between skills-based therapy (like DBT) and addressing the deeper emotional roots of suicidality and self-loathing What parents can do in the “before, during, and after” of tough parenting moments to promote co-regulation and connection Why simply telling a child they are wonderful may backfire—and what to say instead How to recognize if your child is living in a distorted self-narrative, and how to gently interrupt that cycle Practical strategies for helping kids build emotional awareness, distress tolerance, and a more compassionate self-concept Why your own nervous system regulation is essential—and how DBT teaches us to regulate before we reflect   Whether your child is currently struggling with self-esteem or you just want to shore them up now to minimize this risk in the future, this episode will leave you with powerful insights and tangible tools for helping them feel seen, supported, and deeply understood.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:  ·       How you feel from the inside of your body is what matters. ·       Your body loves you and is doing everything to help you thrive. ·       Love is wanting what's best for your body. ·       Self-love should elicit supportive action. ·       Fat adaptation allows the body to use fat as fuel, while keto adaptation requires prolonged carb restriction to produce ketones. ·       Keto can significantly benefit those with metabolic dysfunction, such as obesity and high blood sugar. ·       Long-term keto may lead to issues like muscle loss, hormonal imbalances, and reduced gut health. ·       Carbohydrates can play a crucial role in a balanced diet and should not be completely eliminated. ·       Mental and emotional relationships with food can be affected by restrictive diets like keto. ·       Keto is a therapeutic tool but may not be suitable for everyone, especially those without metabolic issues. ·       The duration of a keto diet matters; short-term use can be beneficial, but long-term adherence may have drawbacks. ·       Keto can raise dopamine levels but may lower serotonin, affecting mood and mental health. ·       A balanced approach to nutrition, including fiber and carbohydrates, is essential for overall health.  Today's podcast is sponsored by my Keane Edge Group Coaching Program: https://briankeanefitness.com/the-keane-edge-program   (Website) www.taragarrison.com (Facebook) www.facebook.com/coachtaragarrison (Instagram) www.instagram.com/coachtaragarrison/ (Youtube) www.youtube.com/coachtaragarrison (Pinterest) www.pinterest.com/coachtaragarrison/ (Tiktok) www.tiktok.com/@coachtaragarrison

What would it feel like to be on your own side?As highly sensitive people, we often internalize harsh messages—learning to motivate ourselves through criticism rather than care. But true healing comes when we begin to soften that inner voice and replace judgment with compassion.In this guided practice episode, you'll be gently supported in shifting from self-criticism to self-kindness. Through grounding breath, visualization, and compassionate phrases, you'll begin cultivating the voice of your inner ally—the part of you that knows you are worthy, even when you struggle.Whether your inner critic is loud today or barely a whisper, this practice will help you reconnect with your own strength, gentleness, and self-trust.This is the final episode in our May series on self-compassion and inner healing—but this work doesn't end here.

Do you speak to yourself the way you speak to a friend?In this episode, you'll be invited to gently explore the way you treat yourself—especially during moments of failure, doubt, or pressure. It's a powerful reminder that self-compassion is not weakness; it's wisdom in action.The conversation centers around the contrast between self-criticism and self-kindness, especially for teachers, facilitators, or anyone in a leadership role. You'll learn how the voice of the inner critic often disguises itself as motivation, but usually leads to burnout, disconnection, or shame. Instead, the episode highlights self-kindness as a skill—a grounded, conscious act that fuels resilience and real presence.From a yogic lens, this is the practice of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Svadhyaya (self-study). From a neuroscience view, it's about regulating your nervous system to create safety and clarity. And from a practical level, it's about building a relationship with yourself that is rooted in respect, care, and steady truth.This episode will leave you reflecting on how you lead, love, and live—from within.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:44 Self-Criticism vs Self-Kindness00:04:16 Ahimsa and the Inner Voice00:06:48 Inner Punishment vs Inner Presence00:08:58 Leadership Through Self-Compassion00:11:07 Svadhyaya and Regulating the Nervous System00:13:35 Presence Over Perfection00:16:07 Leading from Self-Kindness00:18:44 Breath and Mantra Practice00:21:04 Reflective Prompts and Closing-------—-------—-

If perfectionism is your favorite weakness, this one's for you. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen, clinical psychologist and author of How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists, joins Vic to unpack the roots of perfectionism, how it shows up in everyday life, and why so many of us feel like we have to earn our worth. They explore the difference between healthy ambition and toxic self-criticism, how to find that middle ground where you're still growing without burning out, and what it really means to practice self-compassion. Vic opens up about her own struggles with perfectionism—from how playing D1 volleyball enhanced her inner critic to why she regrets overplanning Max's 30th birthday—and shares the tools she's learning to prioritize presence over performance. Whether you overthink, overachieve, or feel like you're never quite doing enough, this conversation will help you let go of the pressure and embrace the messiness of being human.Website: ellenhendriksen.comInstagram: @ellen_hendriksenBook: How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists by Dr. Ellen Hendriksen// SPONSORS // Quince: Treat your closet to a little summer glow-up with Quince.

You ever sit there thinking, “I know what I need to do... so why the heck am I not doing it?”You know—drink the water, write the email, stop the self-sabotage, hug a puppy, hit the gym. It's not that you don't know… it's that you feel like a freakin' war is going on inside you.That exact inner conflict?It's what my guest Britt Frank helps people decode and conquer.Britt's a licensed neuropsychotherapist, trauma specialist, educator, and author of the must-read book Align Your Mind. She's been featured on The Doctors, NPR, Fast Company, and Psychology Today, and y'all—her brain is next level. But what I love most is how she breaks heavy stuff down in a super clear, practical, no-BS kinda way. In this convo on the Happy Hustle Podcast, we get into it. The truth about internal resistance. Why high performers crash hard when they try to rest. And how to stop fighting yourself so you can finally start flowing in alignment.Here's the thing: just because you're a high-level hustler doesn't mean your brain is on board with all the good stuff you're trying to do. Britt explains this through what she calls “parts work.” Basically, you've got different internal parts—some want to grow, others want to hide under the covers. One wants to crush your goals, one wants to eat chips and scroll for hours. The key? They're all trying to help in their own way. You just have to learn how to lead the team instead of being dragged around by the chaos.Britt hit me with this line and it stuck: “Alignment is about driving the team of emotions rather than being run over by them.” Boom.And get this—if you've ever felt guilt for trying to relax after grinding, this'll land. Imagine you're driving a stick shift. You can't go from 90 MPH in 5th gear straight to 20 MPH in 1st gear. You'll blow your engine. And that's what a lot of entrepreneurs are doing. We're go-go-go, building, scaling, moving at lightning speed. And then we try to switch into family mode or chill mode instantly. Britt's point? You have to downshift. You need intentional transitions to protect your nervous system. Stretch. Walk. Breathe. Shift gears slowly, not all at once.Another gold nugget: Britt talks about “micro yeses.” Sometimes we procrastinate because our goals are just too damn big. “Write a book.” “Launch a course.” “Lose 50 pounds.” Our brains go, “Nope. Too much.” But if you break it down to a single next step—open the doc, write one sentence, walk to the mailbox—you're telling your brain, “Hey, this is doable.” Small wins stack up. She also dropped this cool tool called non-dominant hand journaling. Yup—writing with your opposite hand. It feels weird, but it unlocks a different part of your brain that can surface things you didn't even know you were carrying. Perfect for when you feel stuck or unclear.If you've been battling yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually… this episode is a reminder that you're not alone. You're not broken. Your brain's not working against you—it just needs a better team captain. That's you. You lead the parts, you align the team, and suddenly life feels a whole lot lighter.This episode's packed with practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real talk that can legit change the way you move through your day. Especially if you've been grinding non-stop and wondering why you still feel like something's missing.If you've ever procrastinated on a dream, felt guilty for resting, doubted your ability to keep going, or just wanted some tools to finally quiet the mental chaos and get aligned—this one's for you. It's the kind of convo that makes you think, feel, and take action—without the overwhelm.In this episode, we cover:The Concept of Alignment and Its ImportanceUnderstanding the Inner ConflictPractical Strategies for AlignmentThe Gear Shift Analogy for High PerformersMicro Yeses: Breaking Down GoalsCombating Inner Criticism and Self-DoubtUnderstanding Self-Criticism and DoubtThe Science of the Mind and Self-CompassionBreaking Autopilot: Non-Dominant JournalingEnergy Protection and Emotional ClarityShifting Focus: Choices Over WhyAligning Actions with ValuesWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Britt says Happy Hustlin means that my actions match my values and that they are aligned.Connect with Britthttps://www.instagram.com/brittfrankhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brittfrankmsw/Find Britt on this website: brittfrank.com Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Welcome to another powerful episode of the Full Frontal Living Podcast with Lisa Carpenter! In episode 307, Lisa invites listeners to explore the depth of their inner world with the timeless fable of the two wolves, drawing on her own journey and her extensive coaching experience.Lisa shares both the classic and extended versions of the "Two Wolves" fable, unpacking how this story relates to our daily choices, emotions, and personal growth. Instead of seeing the “Dark Wolf” (our challenges, doubts, and tough emotions) as something to ignore, Lisa encourages us to acknowledge and understand both our dark and light sides. Ultimately, this episode is a powerful reminder that we all possess the incredible power to choose which parts of ourselves we nurture—but also how much richer life can be when we accept and learn from all of our internal experiences.Key Highlights:You Always Have a Choice: Lisa reminds us that the life we're living is the result of countless choices, both conscious and unconscious. Where we put our attention and energy—whether it's on positivity and growth or on negative thought loops—shapes our experience and outcomes.Beyond “Good” and “Bad” Sides: The extended version of the Two Wolves fable reveals that both our dark and light sides have gifts to offer. Instead of starving one side, we're invited to feed both, gaining courage, tenacity, compassion, and self-compassion in the process.Embracing All of Yourself: Lisa models how to integrate, value, and lovingly acknowledge every part of who we are—including the parts we often try to hide or suppress. This acceptance is where true peace, ease, and fulfillment are found.The Power to Change Your Story: Suffering and struggle may seem like our default settings, but by choosing to focus on what we want to create (rather than what we wish to avoid), we empower ourselves to change—and truly thrive.Real Transformation: Lisa's episode is not just theory; she shares personal examples and client experiences that show just how much is possible when we honor all of ourselves, create new habits, and choose courage over comfort.This episode is more than just a story; it's about the freedom that comes when you realize your power to choose and start integrating all parts of yourself. Lisa encourages you to reflect: How can you nurture both your dark and light wolves—and what could become possible if you do?Grab your earbuds, get cozy (or go out on a walk!), and let Lisa guide you to greater self-understanding and empowerment. Resources:To learn about Lisa's transformative "Reclamation" program, visit LisaCarpenter.ca/ReclamationLisa loves hearing feedback from her listeners!

Most people are focusing on how their bodies look, not how they feel—and it's holding them back.If you've ever declined an invitation because of how you felt about your body, avoided activities you love, or spent hours criticizing yourself in the mirror, this conversation is your wake-up call. In this episode, I sit down with Taryn Brumfitt, founder of the Body Image Movement and Australian of the Year 2023, to break down why embracing your body isn't just about feeling better—it's about living better.We're tackling the biggest misconceptions about body image—like why focusing on appearance keeps us stuck, why self-love isn't fluffy but foundational, and how body acceptance actually leads to healthier behaviors than body criticism.

Transforming 'Should' into 'Desire': A Journey to Self-Discovery The word "should" carries significant weight in our lives, often representing obligation and criticism. In this podcast episode, Tonya Leigh explores the profound impact that this single word can have on our mental and emotional well-being. When we use "should," it typically conveys a sense of duty or correctness, suggesting that there is a right way to do things. This inherent judgment can lead to feelings of shame and guilt, ultimately hindering our personal growth and fulfillment. She shares a relatable story about a listener named Jeanette, who eagerly anticipates Tonya's annual Live Like an Editor workshop as a tool for success. Tonya emphasizes the importance of breaking free from the cycle of "shoulds" that keep us playing small and reflects on her decision to take January for deep reflection before diving into the new year. Tune in to discover strategies for overcoming the pressure of expectations and embracing your true desires.

"It's only when I've gotten in touch with my true desires and made those the goals that I have had years where I felt excited, where I felt aligned, where I felt like I was moving towards my own North Star."
