That voice in your head—the one whispering that you’re not good enough, not ready, not capable—it’s not the truth. It’s your inner critic, and it’s been running on autopilot for far too long.
61% of women cite their inner critic as the biggest factor eroding their confidence at work.
In today’s episode, we’re calling it out. You’ll learn:✅ What the inner critic actually is (and why it exists)✅ The three ways it shows up and how it holds you back✅ How to catch it in action and reframe it with self-compassion✅ The exact steps to take back control and start leading with confidence
Because here’s the thing: your inner critic is loud, but it doesn’t have to run the show.
