What happens when the person you hear most is constantly criticising you?
This week on the Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks negative self-talk: the cruel, critical and sometimes deeply familiar voice we can mistake for our own truth. She explores where our inner critic comes from, why being hard on ourselves can feel like a form of motivation or protection, and the important question we rarely stop to ask: whose voice is this?
Adelle also gets into how negative self-talk can shape our confidence, relationships, willingness to take risks and even the identities we build around our mistakes. Plus, practical ways to change your inner dialogue without forcing yourself into positive affirmations you don't actually believe.Because the goal isn't to tell yourself you're amazing every minute of the day. It's to build an inner voice that can be honest, accountable and compassionate a voice that feels safe to come home to.
Plus, a special thank you to everyone who got their ticket to the now sold-out For Mannerless Women Live! Ticket holders, keep an eye on your email and the Legally Clueless socials as we share updates in the lead-up to the event.
