Description:
The most powerful voice in your life isn’t external — it’s the one inside your head. This episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself: Who’s leading right now?
In today’s conversation, Jamie Kienholz breaks down the two dominant voices we all carry — the Inner Critic and the Inner Champion. She helps you identify how each one sounds, how they shape your beliefs and behavior, and how to give more airtime to the voice that wants you to rise.
If you’ve ever second-guessed your worth, your pace, or your power, this episode will meet you with truth, grace, and practical tools to shift your inner narrative.
In This Episode, Jamie Covers:
- How to identify the voice of the Inner Critic
- Common lies the critic whispers (and how they show up in your life)
- What your Inner Champion really sounds like (spoiler: she’s not loud)
- Daily practices to amplify confidence, self-trust, and personal power
- Affirmations, reframes, and mirror talk rituals that actually work

Jamie’s Favorite Tools to Amplify the Inner Champion:
• Reframe:
Critic: “You’re behind.”
Champion: “You’re building at your own pace — and it’s working.”
• Affirmations:
“I am allowed to take up space.”
“I am qualified, even if I don’t feel ready.”
• Mindset Practices:
Morning journaling, mirror talk, and asking:
“Would I say this to someone I love?” If not — it doesn’t belong.
Call to Action:
