Episode 5: The Inner Critic: How to Stop Self-Doubt and Rebuild Self-Trust
Manage episode 505602328 series 3677631
Do you ever spiral in self-doubt, second-guess your decisions or feel like nothing you achieve is ever enough? That constant pressure often comes from the inner critic, a voice that sounds like you but was shaped by past conditioning and survival patterns.
In this episode Nancy and Natalie share their own stories of perfectionism, people-pleasing and self-criticism and how reparenting helps rebuild self-trust and self-respect.
What you’ll hear
- Nancy’s story of chasing achievement and why “first place” never felt like a win
- A recent moment of choosing values over people-pleasing and how freeing it felt
- Natalie’s journey of carrying painful words about her appearance and how she rebuilt self-respect through loss
- A simple 3-step practice: Whose voice? Which value? What choice?
This isn’t about silencing your inner critic overnight. It’s about learning to pause, notice whose voice you’re carrying and choose a response that aligns with your values.
Nancy: “Saying no without over-explaining is a form of self-trust.”
Natalie: “Once you know your own strength no one can convince you you’re worthless.”
