Has your inner critic ever blocked you from doing the things that you truly wanted to accomplish? How often has the voice inside your mind talked you out of trying something new? What are the steps that you can take to get past that voice, unstuck, and move forward?
In this episode of The Inner Critic Podcast, I explore the part of us that tries to protect us—but often keeps us stuck. I share how starting this podcast took nearly a decade, not because I didn't want it, but because my own inner critic was very present.
I describe my inner critic as a loving but overprotective Italian nonna—fierce, fearful, and well-intentioned. She was trying to keep me safe, but she still saw me as a child. When I began gently reminding this part that I'm now an adult—capable and secure—everything started to soften.
I invite you to get curious about the part of you that keeps you stuck and to talk to it rather than silence it. These protective parts aren't the enemy—they're doing their best with old information. When we lead with curiosity, we can move forward with more clarity and trust.
Thanks for listening, I'd love to connect with you over on Instagram.
