In this episode, Dr. Cindra dive into one of the biggest barriers to confidence and high performance: the inner critic. You know that harsh voice that nitpicks, second-guesses, and drains your energy? Learn how to recognize it, challenge it, and replace it with empowering self-talk that fuels your purpose and potential.
 
Dr. Cindra shares a real coaching story of an NFL kicker who learned to notice, name, and swap his inner critic — transforming his mindset and performance. You'll walk away with practical strategies to calm your body, reframe your thoughts, and strengthen your belief system.
 
Key Takeaways:
  • Everyone has an inner critic — it's human, not a flaw.
  • The three steps to manage it: Notice it, Name it, Normalize it.
  • Use The Truth Meter to test your thoughts: "Is this true? Is it serving me? What's a more empowering thought?"
  • Small, consistent mental reps create lasting confidence.
  • Remember: your inner critic is loud, not accurate.
 
Power Phrase of the Week:
"My self-talk builds me, not breaks me."
 
Quote to Reflect On:
"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." — James Allen
