Inside you lives a Deepest Inner Critic (DIC). 

We call it the DIC, because it really is kind of a D!

It loves to tell you that you’re:

  • Not good enough
  • Not capable
  • Not smart enough
  • A failure
  • Too much
  • Lazy
  • Not lovable
  • Not seen
  • Not heard
  • Etc.

You dream of having some kind of magic wand you can wave to shut that DIC up.

You wonder if cult-style brainwashing might actually be the answer.

You’ve also realized that the personal development industry doesn’t have a good cure for the DIC.

Mantras fall flat.

Positive thinking just leaves you MORE frustrated. (It’s like you can’t even think right!)

Intuition? Forget it! The DIC is 900x louder than the gut.

Friend, if this is you, I feel your frustration. 

And I’m here to offer you a better way to silence your inner critic.

One that’s so simple and reliable, you can teach it to a first-grader (and I have).

And in this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I break it down for you!

You’ll learn:

😃 Why trying to think new thoughts is so maddening and frustrating (and what to do instead)

😃 Where negative self-talk actually comes from (SPOILER ALERT: it’s NOT deep seated trauma or terminal insecurity)

😃 Techniques to stop negative thoughts quickly and easily—and keep them from coming back.

Ready? Let’s do this!
