Ep. 106 How to handle the inner critic

CHLOE BROTHERIDGE
About this episode

This week on the podcast I’m talking about the number one issue I see in my clients. The inner critic.

It’s big. Huge.

It’s that fault finding, nit-picking, brain-niggling, mean-ass inner critic.

AKA ‘The shitty committee’.

The inner mean girl (or boy).

Judgey McJudgerson.

You get the picture.

It’s the internal monologue that’s pissing on your parade.

Present every time you speak up in your family, try something new  with your hair or attempt to write your bio on a dating app. There every  time you fire up Zoom for a work meeting and have to stare at your own  face for 50 minutes.

And when things aren’t going to plan, the inner critic can get louder and arsier than ever.

When you get iffy feedback from the work project you gave your all to.

When you hear crickets after an audition or interview.

Or when you miss your pre-paid yoga class because you hit snooze once too many.

Queue an internal rant of Biblical proportions. Not even your ex who cheated on you got this much heat.

Can you relate?

Wouldn’t it be better to just try your best without all the internal chatter holding you back.

In this solo episode of The Calmer You Podcast I’m sharing my top tips for handling the inner critic and moving forwards with more confidence in life.
