Last week I talked about shame - that deep, quiet belief that something is fundamentally wrong with you - and how it gives birth to the survival patterns so many of us have been living inside of.
This week, I'm taking it one step further. Because when shame goes unnamed and those survival patterns stay in place, they don't just stay quiet. They fuel anxiety. In this episode, I'm looking at how your inner critic is keeping your nervous system in a constant state of threat, why perfectionism and overthinking are fruit and not the root, and what it looks like to finally stop pulling at the fruit and start tending to what's underneath it.
Rooting for you,
Jessica
