Do you ever feel like your inner critic is holding you back? I know I’ve been there, and in today’s episode of Success Reimagined with Amna Shabbir, MD, I’m sharing why self-compassion is the ultimate strategy for achieving success.
We often think being hard on ourselves will push us to do better, but research shows the opposite. Self-criticism leads to procrastination, burnout, and lower confidence. On the other hand, self-compassion rewires your brain, boosts emotional resilience, and helps you grow both personally and professionally.
In this episode, I’ll help you:
✅ Understand the neuroscience of self-compassion and how it impacts your brain and mental health.
✅ See why self-compassionate people are more likely to take risks and succeed.
✅ Learn practical steps to quiet your inner critic and start being kinder to yourself today.
I’ll also share insights from Dr. Kristin Neff’s groundbreaking research, which proves that self-compassion isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength that helps you thrive.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
