What if the biggest critic in your life isn't out there—it's the voice inside your head? In this episode, Claire and Trudi get honest about the internal commentary that tells us we're being judged, that we said the wrong thing, or that everyone is watching our every move. Sparked by Claire's real-time experience of her brain critiquing her while recording, this conversation explores how our inner voice keeps us small—and what to do about it.

Inside this episode:

~ Why you think everyone's watching you (and the truth about what they're actually thinking)

~ Why someone who looks confident might actually be panicking on the inside

~ The conversation that proved everyone's too busy judging themselves to judge you

~ Why vulnerability triggers the harshest self-criticism—and what to do about it

~ The simple practice that stops your inner voice from running the show

This is for anyone who's ever walked away from a conversation replaying everything they said, or held back from being fully themselves because of what others might think.

Main takeaway: Your inner voice doesn't have to rule the show. When you pause and question those automatic thoughts, you realize most of them aren't even true—and the ones that are don't matter nearly as much as you think they do.
