What if I told you the most damaging voice in your life isn’t from your boss, your partner, or that one childhood bully…

It’s the voice inside your head.

The one that whispers, “You’re not ready.” “That’s not good enough.” “Don’t embarrass yourself.”

That voice? That’s your inner critic. And in this episode of Hard Truths, we’re going all-in on understanding it, exposing it, and transforming it.

Because here’s the truth most people don’t know:

👉 Your inner critic isn’t you. 👉 It’s a survival reflex. 👉 And it’s learned—which means it can be unlearned.

We’ll dive deep into how the inner critic forms in childhood, how it disguises itself as discipline, how it fuses with your identity—and, most importantly, how to build a new inner voice that challenges you with love, not fear.

You’ll learn:

• Why your inner critic isn’t cruel—it’s scared (and how to disarm it)
  

• The neuroscience behind why we self-sabotage and pre-reject ourselves
  

• How to stop mistaking anxiety for ambition
  

• What it actually looks like to rewrite your internal script
  

• The exact 7-day challenge I use to retrain my self-talk
  

This isn’t about positive affirmations or ignoring the hard stuff. It’s about taking back the mic from the part of you that’s been too loud for too long—and learning to lead yourself from a place of courage, not criticism.

You’ll walk away from this episode with raw insight, psychological clarity, and a very real plan to quiet the noise in your head—and amplify the version of you that’s been waiting to speak.

Because if you don’t challenge the voice that keeps shrinking you… You’ll spend your life mistaking fear for facts.

Let’s change that.
