Welcome to the official SEASON 2 of the Be Your Own Badass Podcast! Do you find yourself battling with your inner critic? Setting high expectations for yourself, and beating yourself up when you can't live up to your own high standards? Or maybe you're hard on yourself when you start comparing yourself to other people? Or pressure yourself to look or act a certain way to be more "normal." In this episode, you'll learn all about my own history with managing my harsh inner critic, brought on by my own perfectionist tendencies and the drive to make other people happy. Then, you'll learn the 10 ways I recommend managing your inner critic, and what steps to take to be a little kinder to yourself. Additionally, you'll learn where I've been, updates in my life and within my coaching business, the new book I wrote that's coming in December 2021, what to expect coming up in season 2 of the podcast, and so much more!
