Recovery already demands courage, patience, and resilience—but the loudest battle often comes from within. The inner critic whispers lies about who we are, what we’re capable of, and whether we’ll ever measure up. Left unchecked, it fuels shame, self-doubt, and the pressure to be perfect.

In this episode of Progress Over Perfection, Brandon Couch confronts the power of the inner critic and offers hope for silencing its grip. Through honesty, faith, and self-compassion, we can replace condemnation with truth, and criticism with grace. Recovery isn’t about becoming flawless—it’s about learning to speak to yourself with the same love God speaks over you.
