Taming Your Inner Critic – Why We're So Hard on Ourselves and How to Shift That Story


Do you ever catch yourself stuck in a loop of self-criticism, second-guessing every move, or feeling like you’re never quite enough? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.


In this episode of the Ignite and Flow podcast, we’re unpacking the voice of the inner critic—where it comes from, why it feels so loud, and how you can begin to shift your relationship with it.


You’ll learn how to recognize the patterns behind self-judgment, understand the emotional roots of your inner dialogue, and begin practicing gentler, more empowering ways to relate to yourself.


This isn’t about silencing your inner critic—it’s about transforming how you respond, reclaiming your voice, and choosing self-kindness over self-attack.
